Kannanur Lokesh (KL) Rahul, on Monday(3rd Jan 2022), was tasked with the responsibility of leading India in the 2nd Test against South Africa at Johannesburg. The dashing opener was handed the captaincy after regular skipper Virat Kohli was ruled out of the match owing to an upper back spasm.
 
Rahul, who has also been named captain for the three-match ODI series, has become the 34th captain to lead India in the longest version of the game. Rahul's ascension to captaincy proved lucky for India as he won the toss and decided to bat first.
 
Rahul is also the 4th India Test captain from Karnataka after Gundappa Viswanath, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble.
