KL Rahuls India team mate Dinesh Karthik has become the latest cricketer to slam the opener after his run of low scores in the just ended Test series against Bangladesh.
According to Dinesh Karthik, KL Rahuls days in the Indian cricket team, all formats are numbered and time was running out for the boy from Karnataka to resurrect his career.
The veteran Indian wicket-keeper batsman felt that the Test series against Australia in February and March could be his last in India colors as a failure against the Kangaroos could end his team career national.
I would give KL those few Test matches but if things don’t go like KL Rahuls The only thing that goes against him is the fact that he has played over 40 Tests and his average is just in the middle of the years 30. This is not acceptable for an opener. It is definitely one of the lowest among Indian players, who have played 35 Test matches, Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz.
It’s something he definitely needs to work on. It will be in his mind. If he wants to cement his place in the Test squad, he needs to get a few hundred against Australia. If not, you can definitely see a change, with Shubman Gill doing so well, added Dinesh Karthik.
Look, I think we need to understand batting mentalities. There’s a lot going on in his head right now. He’s the captain, he doesn’t have the volume of races he wants. He is under pressure, he is hesitant when he starts to hit. It happens to a lot of hitters, literally every hitter who plays for the country. You go through a spell where you find groceries hard to find, Dinesh Karthik explained.
This could be the new ball, you feel the conditions are right for hitting, sometimes you just can’t run and every day the mind keeps throwing doubts at you and it gets bigger and bigger. In his case, he is hesitant, he is not very engaged on the front foot. He hangs, hoping the ball would spin and he could play the ball. But sometimes he tries to make an effort to play. It’s not a technical mistake, there’s a lot going on for KL Rahul at the moment, the veteran Tamil Nadu hitter has said.
Long before Dinesh Karthiks’ criticism, KL Rahul was roasted with memes after his disastrous run with the bat continued with the bat against Bangladesh on Thursday.
After failing to go past 23 in his first three shots against the home side, KL Rahul was fired for just 2 in the final legs of the second test in Dhaka, ending the tour on a disappointing note after posting a streak poor scores in ODI. .
As KL Rahuls’ struggles continued on the pitch, several Indian fans took to Twitter to criticize him for his diminishing returns with the bat.
While some called him a cheat, others mocked him saying that he now pledged his wish to score against weak opposition and that’s why he didn’t perform well against the Bangladesh.
Thank you KL Rahul for your memories. Good retirement. Now never come back to our team. No one cares about you and no requirement for a dead player like you. Go play IPL and earn money because you never earn our respect, a furious Indian cricket fan tweeted.
After KL Rahuls’ horror show in Bangladesh, reports surfaced that he will face Indian side T20I ax for the next series against Sri Lanka next month.
The former committee is likely to select Sri Lanka’s white ball team, a BCCI official told the PTI news agency. As of now, it doesn’t look like Rohit Sharmas’ finger will heal enough before the T20Is and in that case, Hardik will lead the team. As for KL Rahul, his T20I days seem numbered.
Chetan and his committee still watch national cricket. They watched the entire Vijay Hazare Trophy as well as the first two rounds of the Ranji Trophy. Debasish Mohanty was present at Eden Gardens to watch Bengal vs Himachal Pradesh. Basically, they got a two-month extension until December 25, the BCCI source added.
KL Rahul has faced severe criticism from Team India supporters and ex-cricketers for his failure to score runs in all three formats.
While it was his batting approach at the top of the order that was heavily criticized during India’s failed T20 World Cup campaign in Australia last month, his struggles in recent ODIs against Bangladesh have again raised questions about his place in the national team.
In the Test series against Bangladesh, KL Rahul could only manage scores of 22, 23 10s and 2s in the four shots he played in Chattogram and Dhaka.
