India is currently taking on Australia in the first ODI in Mumbai. The hosts won the toss and decided to bowl first. They opted for the combination of two spinners and four quicks. Another noticeable thing was even in the presence of Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul is keeping the wickets.
Rahul has lived up to the expectations and has done a brilliant job in the field as a keeper. The right-hander has grabbed some brilliant takes down the wicket and has saved some crucial runs for the team behind the wicket.
What caught the attention of many was his sensational diving catch to dismiss Australian skipper Steve Smith. It was during the 13th over when Indian captain Hardik Pandya bowled a pretty wide-length ball.
Smith tried to chase the ball and cut but got the edge. Rahul made a spectacular moment behind the stumps to his right and timed his dive to perfection to gobble the ball. He got both hands behind it and completed a clean catch.

He must be India's first choice keeper for ODI WC. If Pant comes, then it might or not change.
