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.

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.

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.

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.

People do get exposed when most international teams have had the opportunity to study you and work out your weakness. 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.

Yes he has this issue with incoming delivery eve. 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.
