So I don't think India is grooming him as an opener. He does open for Punjab in Ranjis.He should be groomed as an opener.I think India A has openers and he could bat at no3 thats why he was batting at no3 . Straight Drive 1 Link to comment

He has identity crisis and this affects his game because his concentration is not there and mentally he is not in a good space. Anyway, hopefully he goes back to FC, works on temperament and meanwhile, others will get a shot. not only temperamant, his technique too is far from great. I don't think his body balance is adequate to be successful against all type of bowling in all conditions as an opener. Link to comment
Prabhdeep Singh Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 1st Test 11 Vs SA should be: R Sharma M Agarwal C Pujara V Kohli A Rahane H Vihari R Pant R Ashwin R Jadeja M Shami J Bumrah Squad: S Iyer I Sharma S Gill K Yadav P Shaw banned, K Rahul needs to play ranji season. sarcastic 1 Link to comment

Rahul must be kicked out asap and Dhawan or Vijay or Shaw should play. Is Rohit Sharma's and Rahul's test average same ? Link to comment

Maybe make him captain like kohli He is an opener thats why he has played so many tests.If he was a middle order batsman like Nair he would have been kicked out long time back. Link to comment
Prabhdeep Singh Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I think the long rope may have snapped. Link to comment
Frustrated Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Great match saving inning by KL. WOW !! Had he not played 63 balls, India would hv lost the test. He certainly needs a longer rope now, possibly a rope that will strangulate his own team mates. LOL. express bowling 1 Link to comment
LordPrabhzy Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 This is the end of KL Rahul's test career... such a shame after his first ton in Australia, I thought he was a special talent. Maybe thats what happens to Indian batsmen... i hope it doesnt to Shaw, Agarwal and Gill. Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) one of the very rare occasions, wishing for a batsman to fail despite wishing the team to do well at the same time. Relieved that the dismissal of this hack came at the moment where team can afford to do so. No more of his sight at the crease again at least in tests.

India will comprehensively win this series, and KL's form (which has been consistently sh**t for 2 years) will be brushed under the carpet.

express bowling Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Rahul is now averaging 34.59 ( under 35 ) after 36 tests. ( a significant number ) With the wealth of talent we are supposed to have, do we deserve this kind of an opener in tests !!!! Cricketics, Mosher, beetle and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Rahul is proving everyone wrong who said he is supertalented and the next best batsman for India. Frustrated 1 Link to comment
