India vs Australia Test: Sunil Gavaskar made surprise statement about KL Rahul

The Arun Jaitley Stadium will play host to the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Test series between India vs Australia. The team management is likely to take a tough decision regarding opening batsman KL Rahul’s position in the second Test match. India vs Australia Test: Sunil Gavaskar made surprise statement about KL Rahul.

Despite this, Team India cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar is of the opinion that KL Rahul is likely to be given another chance to prove his ability. In the first match of the 4-match Border-Gavaskar Test series, Rohit Sharma-led Team India won by an innings and 132 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Even so, Team India is forced to make some improvements in its top-order batting department. Captain Rohit Sharma played an important role in the team’s victory by scoring an impressive 120 runs. Otherwise, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli were disappointed by conceding wickets for a small amount.

Especially senior opening batsman KL Rahul has started raising many questions about his position. KL Rahul, who is also the vice-captain of the Indian Test team, has been widely criticized for his poor performance. Meanwhile, young talented batsman Shubman Gill is taking a bold step towards becoming a cricketer of all three types.

A few months ago, KL Rahul led Team India in the absence of Rohit Sharma during the Bangladesh tour. But Rahul failed in all four innings. On the other hand, in the Test series against Bangladesh, Gill grabbed attention by scoring an impressive century. Team India Vice-captain KL Rahul was able to score only 20 runs off 71 balls in the first Test match against Australia.

KL Rahul, who had a wonderful form in the tour of England and South Africa in 2021-22, has now failed to score 30+ runs even once in the last 8 innings. Leaving out the in-form Shubman Gill and giving KL Rahul a place in the Indian team was indeed a tough decision.

Look at Axar Patel himself, he too has batted brilliantly. This is India’s bench strength ready and ready to show what they can do if given the opportunity,” Sunil Gavaskar opined in an India Today program.

“According to me, KL Rahul is likely to get another chance to prove his mettle in the second Test to be held in Delhi. A clear decision about KL Rahul is likely to be taken after the second Test match. At this time, it is also a legitimate issue to allow the players who are really qualified to get a place in the team,” Gavaskar opined.
