In the last season, Punjab had KL Rahul as one of their openers along with Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal as the other openers. While the latter batted for a few matches, the hulk-like Jamaican batsman was mostly preferred as Rahul’s partner. However, Gayle would be nearing 40 years by next the IPL and his abilities have already started to see a downward trend.

The 24-year-old Das may not have the brute force as that of Gayle, but he can be a difficult prospect to deal with if he manages to hit his straps. Moreover, Rahul isn’t a specialist wicketkeeper and roping in the Dinajpur-born cricketer can also improve the standard of keeping. Furthermore, the team doesn’t have a backup keeper-batsman and Liton can be a vital inclusion.
