India’s vice-captain and opener K.L. With Rahul struggling in recent times, veteran Dinesh Karthik has commented on his performance. Also, K.L. Dinesh Karthik has warned that if Rahul does not perform well, Shubman Gill may fill his place.
With India’s captain Rohit Sharma ruled out due to injury, KL will play the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh. The Indian team led by Rahul faced. Although India won the Test series by washing out Bangladesh in this series, as a player K.L. Rahul’s lack of batting has come under criticism.
In the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL started with Subman Gill as the opener. Rahul did not add as many runs as expected. KL Rahul, who scored only 22 and 23 runs in the first Test match, got out with only 10 and 2 runs in his 2nd Test match. In both the Test matches, he scored only 57 runs and disappointed everyone including the fans and selectors.
Similarly, in last month’s T20 World Cup and ODI matches against Bangladesh, KL. Rahul did not add runs. His batting average is very low thus causing problems. Thus, KL Rahul’s participation in the Test series against Australia in February and March has become questionable.
The Australian Test series will be India’s last chance to make it to the finals of next year’s Test Championship series. Thus the series is seen as very important. In this case, K.L. Dinesh Karthik, another Indian player, commented on Rahul’s performance. It said, “I will give KL Rahul a couple of chances in the Test series against Australia, but if something positive doesn’t happen for KL Rahul in that series… this will surely go against him.
In fact, the thing against him is that he has played more than 40 Tests. However, his average is only in the mid-30s. It is unacceptable that a starter has such a low average. This is one of the lowest averages by an Indian player who has played more than 35 Test matches.
He definitely needs to do something to showcase his talent. This thought is also in his mind. If KL Rahul wants to confirm his place in the Test team, he needs to score two hundreds against Australia. Otherwise, Shubman Gill is performing well and he can definitely see a change in the Indian team.”
