SK_IH Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Debut at Melbourne in 2014 and now dropped at the same venue in 2018.And there is no optimism at sight. He doesn't even deserve a place in the LOI side but he has to get back to basics and importantly get back his focus. velu, UrmiSinhaRay, Vk1 and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
Popular Post gattaca Posted December 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Kl Rahul is the puppu of this team. They handed the opener slot on platter to him he was busy uploading pics on Instagram and chatting with Nidhi Agarwal and he slipped and dropped it.

jf1gp_1 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Worst part is expert fans all were behind him. Keeping aside conspiracy theories floated on this forum even ex players used to feel surprised on his non selection. Huge let down rahul. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

As if rahul has given money to all the fans and experts to support him. When he debut he has more than 50 avg in ranji and has hit century in sf and final to win ranji fir his state just after debut he made century in aus. He has 7 back to back 50 in test cricket , show me any other player who has such a fine start of his international test career. Stop making nonsense accusations. When he was in form he was dropped for dhawan and vijay time and again. He is not in form now and he should be sent back to domestic to improve his basic.

Straight Drive Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) A player averaging 35.77 is in no way a good specialist test batsman, forget being a ATG or legend. At the end of the day it is proved he was a hyped average batsman who could not even perform like an average batsman. Now is the time for him to go back to domestic cricket. Play proper long innings unlike the hack shots he plays and gets out to. Learn to be patient in FC matches. Come back as a better test more likely to prove he can be atleast an average test class batsman. He is 26 so there are many domestic seasons he can use to make comebacks.

wanted_desi Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 KL Rahul was more interested in scoring girls than actual scoring he was suppose to. Kothili, Real McCoy and Switchblade 2 1 Link to comment
Nikola Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Back in 2014 IPL he used to be test batsman and i remember finding many similarities between him & Kane Williamson. Both were same type of player that time. Rahul since then looks like worked more on his t20 batting than test cricket. He should have made his one spot permanent then focus on other formats.

Number Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Good for Rahul that he has some time outside the team. Can utilise it well to spend on full time instagramming. Adi BB, LordPrabhzy, velu and 1 other 4 Link to comment
NareshK Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Talented but unfortunately couldnt make most of his opportunities. Then again, opening in SENA countries is one of the toughest jobs you can have. Perhaps, Gavaskar and to a certain extent Murali Vijay could do it successfully over a period of time. Sehwag is a different beast really, so not counting him. Real McCoy 1 Link to comment

There is a certain someone who had a tough time in england, he worked on it and next time around did well. Rahul has been getting out in similar fashion the entire year, its not about form its about technique. Sooner people accept it better and stop blaming anything and everything under sun for Rahuls downfall. Edited December 25, 2018 by jf1gp_1 velu, Real McCoy and manu4411 3 Link to comment
VT87 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 There is nothing about one year out of form. He has several technical deficiencies so stop giving so much excuses and deal with it . Lakin eske chu@@@ a fan shameless Link to comment

Pukara had this same issue last year and he has to work on it by playing domestic. But it doesn't mean hd can't sort it out. Problem is he is getting all chances when he is in middle of back to back abroad tour , he needs to be given a break to work on his issue. Real McCoy and Kothili 1 1 Link to comment
