putrevus Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) So he does not want to bat in middle order then? He is not good enough to be in top three , it is either he bats at no 4 or he is out.If he is not adapt in rotating strike it would be a big problem if he plays in the middle order. I don't know why he can't say I am ready to bat at no 4 if he wants to play. Edited September 26, 2018 by putrevus Link to comment
Adi BB Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I think he has been clearly told by the TM that jab tak woh budhau aur uske csk chamche hai middle order me, tera is odi team me khelna namumkin hai . World cup be baad aana munna ,jaa! Edited September 26, 2018 by Adi BB Number, Laaloo and diehardpacer 3 Link to comment

putrevus Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Has Rahul realized he is not good enough to bat at no4 and do well consistently ,he does not have game to do it?This way atleast he is hanging around the team otherwise he will become test specialist. Link to comment

Well why does he not say I am ready to be no 4 when Kohli comes, nobody put a gun to his head and told him that he should say he will bat only in top order. His inability to rotate strike freely against spinners? He needs to realize he is not better than top three period and only way he can get into the side is as a middle order batsman.If I were him I would have taken to WK on a permanent basis.

Kaleroko Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I came across the whole q&a session on BCCI frontpage when I was looking for something else. http://www.bcci.tv/videos/id/6513/team-management-has-given-me-a-clear-plan-kl-rahul. There seems to a long pause at the 2:10 mark when he answers the question and he is also looking down as well. Obviously there is a plan. Only fools would think otherwise. Pls note that I am actually an expert in reading body language and can use that info to know stuff that others do not. Link to comment

Listen up genius, he is a top order batsman. Have you ever seen a batsman who opens in Test cricket and also plays in the middle order in ODIs. Both are the toughest positions to bat at in the respective format. Even the likes of Sachin were not able to do it. You need different skills sets to adjust to those positions and this is what Rahul is saying. You and your idiotic logic. Link to comment

Was he happy with this new role as a backup opener? Link to comment

He seems to have pushed his case as a top order batsman, and that seems to have backfired. Now he's realised he'd rather play in the middle order than not play at all. Even Sachin worked his way up the top of the order. Should have been smarter. Link to comment
