While "scoring a century" is not a fair metric to judge an ODI player, especially when Rahane was dumped into the middle order - a role he's as much of a misfit for, as was Dravid.  

 

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 ?

Rahane has already played 80 plus ODIs.

Rahane cost India a chance to win two t20 world cups and this clown Sunny wants him in t20 team. 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.

[Vilander]

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 ??

That's not good enough for dumbos like him. It should have been 80 games consecutively 

 

a guy guy who averages in 30s and strike rates in 70s playing for india is pathetic.

they haven't won that game with two overs to spare. 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.

[gakgupta]

I hope there is little shame left with sunny bhai...

hopeless...

Rahane single handedly lost many T20's games for india...

things dont work like that

 

they would have accelerated much earlier. Its not a linear scale.

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. 

[King Tendulkar]

Sunny with not a word on crazy nehra pick 

[Ankit_sharma03]

 

Hear the pain in the voice

 

Read comments down below and ull knw every other person knws the logic behind dropping rahane then an ATG batsman

FYI - I'm against Rahane being played ahead of Rahul as the 3rd opener.   Unambiguously.

QED - Sunny doesn't like tattooed players because somebody with tattoos snatched his lunch box.

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....

[The Realist]

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. 

[Texy]

SG so biased it’s not even funny..hahane shouldnt b anywhere near T20s ...neither shud b Dhawan or Dhoni

[chewy]

Maybe Sunny shouldn't do commie in T20s and ODIs, not sure if he understands the pace of the game 

 

[Stuge]

Insane ..He shouldn't be anywhere near T20 team.
