Ishan Kishan was part of Team India for the World Test Championship 2023 Final against Australia. The team received a disappointing loss against the Aussies and they lost their eighth ICC knockout match in the last ten years. The Indian team will now play against West Indies from July 12, 2023. The tour will kickstart with a two-match Test series, followed by a three-match ODI series and a five-match T20I series. 

KL Rahul is likely to miss the West Indies tour but is expected to make a comeback in the Indian cricket team in the Asia Cup 2023 which will start in the end of August 2023. 

KL Rahul's recent performance for Team India

KL Rahul had not been in good form in the Test format and was removed from the team's XI after the first two Tests against Australia played in February and March 2023. Rahul was not able to deliver in the first two matches and was replaced by Shubman Gill. 

However, KL Rahul has been in good touch in the ODI format and has played a lot of match-saving innings in the last few months. The right-handed batsman played a knock of 63* runs off 103 balls and took his team to a four-wicket win. He also took his team out of a touch situation in the first ODI against Australia in March 2023 when he played an unbeaten innings of 75 runs and also guided Team India to a five-wicket win. 

KL Rahul is also a part-time wicket-keeper batsman and might be in the eyes of the selectors for the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup.
