KL Rahul has been going through a tough phase in international cricket. No matter how he changes his approach towards the game, he has been getting dismissed for cheap scores every now and then.
KL Rahul came under fire for his series of low scores as far as Test cricket is concerned. In the last 10 Test innings, KL Rahul’s best score was 23 runs, which is really poor considering a player of that stature.
After he failed to bring the best out of himself in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy series, the Indian team management decided to sack him from the vice-captaincy role.
KL Rahul came up with scores of 20, 17 and 1 in the ongoing BGT series against the Aussies. Despite the fact that he failed to do well in the ongoing Test series, the Indian team management made it clear that KL Rahul will get the much-needed backing in the next two Tests as well.
Gautam Gambhir opens up on KL Rahul’s criticism
Meanwhile, former Indian opening batsman, Gautam Gambhir launched a scathing attack on the ones who made unnecessary noises about KL Rahul’s recent form in the longest format of the game.
The former cricketer didn’t mince his words as he opened up on KL Rahul’s criticism after encountering yet another failure in the second Test of the BGT series against the Aussies.
While speaking to Sports Tak, Gautam Gambhir echoed that those who are talking about KL Rahul don’t really know how tough international cricket is in the first place.
He also further asked to name a player who scored runs from beginning to end. Gambhir further added that everybody faced that same phase and according to the former opener, it is absolutely imperative to back the talent.
KL Rahul will be hoping to silence the critics in the third Test match which is slated to be held on March 1 at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
