IND vs AUS: The first match of the four-match Test series between India and Australia was played in Nagpur. In this match, India easily defeated the Australian team by 132 runs and an innings. Many players contributed to this victory of India. But there is one player in the team who has been running out of form for the past several times, but the team management and captain Rohit Sharma are giving chances to that player again and again. We are talking about Team India’s vice-captain KL Rahul. Rahul has failed to score runs for a long time. Now even former players and fans have raised questions on keeping him in the team.

Former Team India Player Venkatesh Prasad has Shared his Opinion on Social Media

Former Team India player Venkatesh Prasad has shared his opinion on this issue on social media. He wrote in one of his tweets that I have a lot of respect for KL Rahul’s talent and ability, but sadly his performance has been very low. Despite playing international cricket for more than 8 years, a Test average of 34 after 46 Tests is normal in international cricket. Very few people have been given so many opportunities.

Why Sacrifice Gill for Rahul?

Especially when players in top form have so many waitings. Shubman Gill is in great form, Sarfaraz is scoring hundreds in FC cricket and there are many who deserve a chance ahead of Rahul. Some are lucky enough to be given endless chances to succeed while some don’t get that many chances.

Questions Raised on Vice-Captaincy

To make matters worse, Rahul is the designated vice-captain. Ashwin has got great cricketing mind, he should be vice-captain in test format. If not Ashwin, then Pujar or Jadeja should be made vice-captain. Mayank Agarwal and Hanuma Vihari had a far better impact than Rahul in Tests.

Rahul is in the Team on the Basis of Favoritism

Rahul was not selected on the basis of performance but on the basis of favoritism. He has been in the team for the last 8 years but he has not converted his potential into performance. This is the reason why many former players are not being verbal even after seeing the bias.

Rahul performed very poorly in the first Test match played against Australia. While his opening partner Rohit Sharma was scoring runs on the same pitch, KL Rahul was seen struggling to score runs. Rahul could score only 20 runs in this match. After Rahul got out early, he was trolled fiercely on social media.
