What's wrong with Rahul?

[raki05]

No need to scrutinized him too much he is the best in the indian t20 lineup. He hardly gets chances in loi,please let him play .we know what pressure of expectations can do to players even greatest of the game hasn't been spared from it.

Was easy chance for him to finish the match and make side in odis but again he is not making most of chances he gets.

His t20 performance can't get him chance in 50 overs otherwise with 50 avg and 160 sr. He should have been always in the playing xi.

When you are not getting chance in one format then what you will do is try to finish and win matches in what ever format you get chance in. If Raydud can get chance in ODI's from his ipl performance then International T20 is still better platform for Rahul to perform and make comeback?!

I must say his range is godly...he can dwarf inform rohit/kohli on his day or become a tailender other day.

Primarily,

 

Loss of Confidence after getting dropped and absolutely not sure of anything within the team setup.

[rtmohanlal]

no match temperament & mental toughness what so ever. He only has some talent.... that's all

Will have a turnaround like the LOI  ATG Rohit . Mark my words

Rohit was lucky enough that SRT/Sehwag/Gambhir retired/declined at roughly around the same time and a couple of slots opened up at the top of the order. Do you think Rahul will have the same sort of luck? Because clearly it's not gonna work out for him in the middle order.

His best shot is Dhawan’s decline but Dhawan will get a loooooong run thanks to friendship with Kohli.

 

Also With Guys like Pritwi Shah making an impact, it doesn’t look too good. Again his best bet here is Kohli’s reluctance to try youngsters.

 

so basically almost nothing he can do, all dependent on external factors.

 

Can’t even say cashing in opportunities is an option  because players get dropped after 300s  or winning man of the tournaments to accommodate friends and relatives.

That pretty much means no turnaround like LOI ATG Rohit .

If LOI ATG batsman continues his pathway to LOI ATG captain there is a shot

His percentage game has to improve vastly. It is almost like he could get out anytime unlike some batsmen who only have issues in the first 10 overs.

[The Realist]

Good player with touches of brilliance.

 

But seems mentally weak to become a sure pick and does not seem to have the hunger to take it to the next level.

 

[Straight Drive]

Test average of 38 and ODI average of 35 is just about average. Needs a better test and ODI average, as simple as that.
