Bengaluru, Jan 20: Team India captain Virat Kohli has said that using K.L. Rahul as a wicketkeeper-batsman adds to the balance of the team, thus hinting that the Karnataka batsman may be used in the same role in the five-match T20I series in New Zealand.

Rahul was forced to keep wickets in the just concluded three-ODI series against Australia after regular stumper Rishabh Pant suffered from concussion in the first match in Mumbai. After that, Pant was ruled out of the second game and was not included in the third and final match as well which India won by seven wickets to clinch the series on Sunday.
