Lokesh Rahul is an Indian wicketkeeper and right-handed batter who has accumulated 11,837 runs across ODI cricket. Operating behind the stumps, he has been a regular fixture in India's limited-overs setup, combining the demands of keeping with consistent batting performances at the top and middle order.
His ODI career has seen him establish himself as a reliable accumulator of runs, with the bulk of his aggregate built through steady contributions rather than explosive individual performances. The role of wicketkeeper-batter in modern ODI cricket requires versatility - the ability to anchor innings when required and accelerate when the match situation demands it. Rahul has operated within these parameters across his international career.
His right-handed batting technique has been tested against varied bowling attacks across different conditions and opposition. The combination of keeping duties and batting responsibilities means his fitness and concentration levels are consistently high during match days.
With over 11,800 ODI runs to his name, Rahul represents a significant part of India's middle-order and wicketkeeping options in the 50-over format, having played a substantial number of matches in this role for his country.
