Indian cricketer KL Rahul , is going through a rough patch. Due to injuries, he has previously missed a lot of games. With the exception of ODIs, he had never had a dry spell in any of the other formats. He was, however, benched from the Test team due to subpar performance. He lost his vice-captaincy in limited overs after a string of poor T20I performances.<\/p>\n
KL Rahul struggled in both innings of the most recent second Test against Australia, which compelled BCCI to remove KL as vice-captain of India.<\/p>\n
The selectors have made it clear that Rahul will no longer serve as vice captain for the remaining two Tests against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, despite the fact that captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid have made it clear they will continue to support him.<\/p>\n
Former India opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth said that although he is a big fan of KL Rahul, he wants to see KL having some time off<\/strong> from playing cricket at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cI have tremendous admiration for the class of Rahul, in fact I call him Rolls Royce Rahul\u2026 but it is just not happening for him at the moment. If I was the chairman of selectors, I would have gone up to him and told him to take a break for a while,\u201d Srikkanth told The Times of India.<\/em><\/p>\n Shubman Gill should play the third Test in Indore, which begins March 1, according to Srikkanth.<\/p>\n \u201cBut with all due respect to Rahul, it is time to play Shubman. You can\u2019t keep a player waiting when he is in the form of his life,\u201d Srikkanth said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indian cricketer KL Rahul , is going through a rough patch.
