KL Rahul’s Poor Form Raises Concerns Ahead of Bangladesh Test Series
As the race for places in the Indian Test cricket team intensifies ahead of the upcoming two-match series against Bangladesh, star batter KL Rahul’s recent form has become a cause for concern. Playing for the Shubman Gill-led India A in the Duleep Trophy, Rahul’s clumsy knock of 37 off 111 balls against India B has raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike.
Rahul’s dismissal by India B spinner Washington Sundar on Day 3 of the match has further fueled the debate about his current form. The batter’s slow and laborious innings has drawn criticism on social media, with fans questioning his ability to perform at the highest level.
The squad for the Bangladesh Test series is expected to be announced after the first round of matches in the Duleep Trophy. However, Rahul’s underwhelming performance has put his place in the team in jeopardy.
Social media has been abuzz with reactions to Rahul’s poor form, with many fans expressing their disappointment and frustration. Some have even suggested that he should be dropped from the Test team.
“NO Intent NO runs, on a Pitch which has eased out for batting!! All bows Legend KL RAHUL,” tweeted one fan.
Another fan commented, “If you want someone to discourage themselves from watching cricket, tell them to watch KL Rahul batting. I bet you will go in depression.”
Rahul’s struggles have also been noticed by former cricketers. Manoj Tiwari, a former India batsman, tweeted, “This man has lost his confidence that he can make runs also.”
Despite being the top-scorer for India A in their first innings, Rahul’s slow and unconvincing knock has left a bitter taste in the mouths of fans and selectors alike. With the Bangladesh Test series just around the corner, Rahul will need to find his form quickly if he wants to retain his place in the Indian team.
