Tendulkar1996 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 As long as he doesnt fix the whole 1.'angled bat on contact with the ball' problem and 2.Know where his offstump is ,he won't return.Needs to adjust his grip for a straighter grip like kohli did.If you look at kohli before 2012 you will see he had a more closed grip,more whippy and loose.Now his bat face is much straighter and he is more stable.

Kothili Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 On 12/27/2018 at 10:55 PM, sensible-indian said: Just watch his cringy photos and the timing of them in away tours and it is obvious he has an obsession with Instagram. And this is coming from a person who was a KL Rahul fan much before 99.9% of the posters here. KL Rahul is the same guy who was posting bday wishes to Ishant 5 minutes after a crushing loss in Eng. On freaking twitter. As if he can't do it in person if that was so important. KL Rahul is getting distracted with social media and fame. It's a fact. Couldn't agree more. He needs to stay off those handles for a bit. But then he'll be forgotten quickly and hence his romance with instagram and twitter. All he needs to do is be a little more aware and sensitive on the timing of his posts. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
GolGappe Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 India will most probably play lots of test matches at home after gruelling away season. Shaw and Mayank will have bit of a breathing space. KL is still 3rd in pecking order but will need bit of a luck to get back into line up His agents should be working overtime to get him a county gig so he stays on selectors radar.

Rookie123 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I hope he returns and bats at no. 5 or 6 UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Getting bowled by an yorker in tests lol He has far too many weaknesses to address. He is no different from Aaron finch technically. Head falling over against incoming balls. I am sure there must be half a dozen domestic batsmen who would be technically more equipped than Rahul. Heard him saying in an interview that T20 ruined his batting in Tests. If he feels that way he should go back to domestic again and do the hard yards and come back again.

Lala Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Rahul is still in T20 fantasy. Until he realizes Test cricket is a different saga, his fans won't be able to see him in white shirt again other than in a Ranji game. Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 KLR is too good player to get wasted..He will come back after better domestic season. As of now He has wasted chances he got and rightly dropped UrmiSinhaRay and Kothili 1 1 Link to comment

He has to go back to the drawing board and fix all the issues that crept into him... He needs to play one full ranji season... Kothili 1 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Best chance to wash away all the mistakes in last test of India's overseas cycle if he will be picked tomorrow otherwise guy is going to get lot of abuse on Social media..And He is starring in next episode of Koffee with Karan this week..Social media trollers will have fun if he fails tomorrow.

sandsaims Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Ever since KL signed with Bunty sajdeh, he has been getting chances even when he absolutely doesn't deserve it whole it was exactly the opposite when he still with another agent. UrmiSinhaRay and nevada 1 1 Link to comment

gattaca Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He is batting worse than tailender. His Karnataka says kohli messed him up. Kohli gave Rahul so many chances. He should have not even given a chance in this match. UrmiSinhaRay, Frustrated and mancalledsting 1 1 1 Link to comment
Vk1 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Basically you got to have a similar game for all three formats... Like Kohli, Williamson, Warner etc do.. and pray that it works out. Very difficult. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Kohli should be given a kick on the back side for selecting such an 'out of form & lacking in confidence' player UrmiSinhaRay and Frustrated 1 1 Link to comment
TNAmarkFromIndia Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hopefully he is dropped after this series and Prithvi Shaw takes his rightful place in the team. Wonder if they could give Shubman Gill a go in place of Hanuma Vihari in the middle order, but they're probably not going to drop Vihari anytime soon. UrmiSinhaRay and Frustrated 1 1 Link to comment
