KL Rahul’s lacklustre performance in white-ball cricket last year and in the ongoing Test series has left many questioning his place in the Indian cricket team.
With just 38 runs in the first two games and a low average since 2020, former cricketers and fans alike are divided on whether Rahul should be given another chance or benched for the upcoming match against Indore.
Even 1983 World Cup winner Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who affectionately calls him “Rolls Royce Rahul,” believes it’s time for him to take a break and for Shubman Gill to take the field in the third match.
Srikkanth has added his voice to the ongoing debate about the struggling form of Indian cricketer KL Rahul.
Despite being a big fan of the talented batter, Srikkanth believes that Rahul needs to take a break from the game in order to regroup and recover his form.
The 30-year-old has had a difficult time in both white-ball and Test cricket over the past year, with an average of just 30 since 2020, which is the third-worst among Indian batters.
Srikkanth’s comments come amidst a heated debate among cricket experts and fans about Rahul’s place in the team, with many calling for rising star Shubman Gill to be given a chance in the upcoming Indore game.
