And your claim that Dravid had to "give up his opener's position" is as ridiculous as Gavaskar asking for Rahane in the T20 team. He is talking about KL Rahul, not Rahul Dravid.

I agree on how Rahane was never given a good run in ODIs , but its also unfair on KL being asked to play in the middle order . Rahane and Rohit who play down the order in longer formats get to open in ODIs , while KL who does the tough job of test opening is expected to play down the order in ODIs ? Link to comment

No wonder guys like Pant never get a chance. come on dude, 2012 was pure Yuvi. and lets be honest in 2016 as well. The side batting second at Wankhede had a 90% win ratio in T20s. Rahane or not India would have lost that one against of the atg sides in the format to went on to win. We lost at the toss itself. While I fully accept Rahane is not T20 material, this scapegoating is plain wrong. Link to comment
Vilander Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 what does ghati Gavaskar have against bengaluru boy KL Rahul ? the guy has super strike rate in t20 and has scored so many back to back 50's in tests etc. He is good, why should it be between Rahane and Rahul ?? Link to comment

It should have been 80 games consecutively a guy guy who averages in 30s and strike rates in 70s playing for india is pathetic. Link to comment

They hit the winning run on the 4th ball of virats bowling. imagine 20+ to our eventual score . Also games on flat tracks are played with a mindset that you should get to a score higher than the par score. Forget that match, we are still a defensive team when it comes to flat pitches. We need a McCullum kind of a guy. sandeep 1 Link to comment
gakgupta Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I hope there is little shame left with sunny bhai... hopeless... Rahane single handedly lost many T20's games for india... Link to comment

wanted_desi Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 KL Rahul has potential to be a great batsman in ODI as well, but poor guy is being played around to accommodate Mumabi Quota. On top of it, you get Gavaskar crying out loud how KL Rahul is in the team. KL Rahul should be second name on in the team after Kohli. sarcastic, Vk1, rahulrulezz and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment

sarcastic Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Quote It looks like all the nice guys are being left out and they should start getting a different hair style and some body art done too to get picked in the team. Sunny has stooped low with that phrase there.... Link to comment
The Realist Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Instead of giving cheap interviews Gavaskar should be donating some of his food to Rahane, difficult to achieve a high strike rate when look that malnourished. Stuge, Forever Indian, Laaloo and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment
