Cricketics Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 If we have Shaw open with Rohit and Kohli is at 3 and Shubman at 4c, are we then planning to kick Rahul out? Whats your verdict on Rahul? Would you like for him to be given a much longer run at 4 or 5 or just kept as reserve and wait for his chance? Kronadler 1 Link to comment
Tendulkar1996 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) He doesnt fit.As a t20 opener -he can. Doesnt have big match temperament for other formats. He had his chance.Now mayanks' turn.

express bowling Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Rahul should be dropped from both tests and ODIs as he lacks focus and hunger for success in these formats. T20 is the only format that seems to suit him Laaloo, Frustrated, SecondSlip and 8 others 5 5 1 Link to comment

CG Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Rahul is suited to middle order,he plays spin well.I would have Rahul at no 4. Link to comment
rangeelaraja Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 KL Rahul is a meek mental midget. He needs someone to click so he can support. With the number of chances he has been given, if he had it in him, it would have shown. He does not belong to the international ODI or Test arena for a team of the stature of India express bowling, Kronadler and VT87 2 1 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Back to domestic cricket. Work on his weaknesses. Link to comment

Not really, need to have right perspective. he has done well enough for a 14 ODI old batsman without playing a single ODI in last one year. He scored more runs than Dhoni and Kohli in their first WC. probably most by any Indian batsman with less than 20 ODIs under his belt. Regarding test, he should be moved down to middle order.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 How have ppl easily assumed that Dhawan career is over ??? Forget Rahul how does shaw come infront of Dhawan Rahul hasnt badly in Wc ....so need to drop him. Finally after a tough he seems to be getting better so why not back him. This is where somene like ganguly n dhoni made player.....they didnt drop players when they started to find some confidence. Anyways he ll be dropped as test series comes. One thing with rahul- he needs to be told for sure what his role is - opener or no.4......and then even if dhawan looses his place Rahul wud be number - 4 Kronadler and saik 2 Link to comment

Looking at just the runs scored in LOIs is not the correct perspective. Rahul batted at a very low SR of 77 to achieve scoring the 361 runs from 9 matches in this WC. Moreover, this WC has featured more matches than most WCs because of the unusually long league stage. So, the cumulative runs have to be seen from that perspective too. Rahul has been playing international cricket for a long time ... and his attitude and hunger for success keep on disappointing. We need players with the right attitude.

WC2011INDIA Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Rahul should be shown the door. He is worse than Rahane. OpeningBatsman, Kronadler and Frustrated 2 1 Link to comment
shami_123 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Sack Rahul. I have not seen a opener like him in a long time representing India who is just so much tentative and his mind so much clouded that he does not looks settled even after hitting an half century off 70 odd balls. Maybe because of Dhongi baba virus Edited July 13, 2019 by shami_123 Kronadler and Frustrated 1 1 Link to comment
VT87 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) The ball which he got out was most innocuous delivery ,just straight ball with some bounce yet he nicked it shown what a garbage player he is ,just scoring against bangladesh, srilanka with pathetic Sr and failed against big teams eng,nz .actually he has scored most soft runs entire tourney. He is f@@# 27 and must be his peak .when will he start performing at 35 Edited July 13, 2019 by VT87 Frustrated and Kronadler 1 1 Link to comment
Lannister Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 He should be the first choice opener starting next series. Dhawan/Sharma will be 35+ by the next WC. They already played in 2 WCs, had their chance and it's time to move on. SecondSlip, Switchblade, OpeningBatsman and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment

I doubt if he will make it to the toyger's playing 11 as as opener. Tamim and Soumya Sarkar are more intimidating than this timid tentative kid. We certainly have better batsmen than him. Give Shubman Gill and Shaw 5-10 matches , they will show more confidence than KL. Kronadler 1 Link to comment
