Rahul problems in t20s also is his inability to change tempo after PP.Dhawan is bad in t20s but he is far better t20 player than Rahul the odi player who flat out stinks with his 1970s SR.

Agree. Rahul is top quality player and certainly much better than Dhawan. No brainer actually as to who is better in T20i.

 

In ODI Rahul just does not has the strike rate expected in modern day ODI cricket.

Give him security n fixed position it ll get better with time.A guy who can bat fast in t20 can also in ODI but he wont if he knws he ll get dropped after 1-2 failures. Such logic works with guys like rahane whom we knw lack power game in 1st place

Players get better with time n security

Rahul is good in T20s only.I rather give chances to a guy like Gill over Rahul in odis so he will be ready for next world cup.

I would say Rahul is damn good and wordlcass in T20i. One of the few players in world to average 45 and having sr 144.

 

In Tests he is pathetic and in ODI his strike rate of 80 is just not suitaable for modern era cricketers who have debuted in this decade.

 

Would like to see Iyer picked instead of Rahul in ODI.

I agree completely, Rahul if he learns how to increase his tempo after PP in t20s he will become number T20 player.But I would not have him in my test or odi teams.
