Has KL Rahul ever delivered under pressure (in LOIs) ?

I won't say that was a good performance, he striked at 68 or something

 

good start was necessary else it would have been like today.

 

Set it up for others

[speedheat]

 This midget always looks to be under pressure in a big match.

Now, watch him score some meaningless runs against Namibia, Scotland, and Afghanistan, and his fans will go crazy.

Just now, Adamant said:

He is Rahul not Aakash Chopra, he is not there to defend and lunge just so that Sehwag (read Rohit) can play his natural game.

He was a pale shadow of himself back then.

 

Used to be fearful of getting out and losing his spot.

 

The knock was decent considering the situation.

In tests, I think you should check out his performance vs AUS in home conditions , probably the toughest series we have played at home.

That may be true.   But I don't think any Indian test opener would ever hv a worse batting average than KL.   (batsmen having played more than 30 tests)

He needs to perform against NZ, but oh wait .......... TRENT BOULT vs Rohit and Rahul can yet again be devastating

[Lone Wolf]

I think he is dreadful against left armers..  Starc had him in the warm up as well if he had that slip.  Needs to play in middle order vs NZ & let Kishan open.

People with starting problems succumb to pressure. Remember how Tendulkar edged one in the 2011 final. It was Gambhir that played a great percentage cricket.

That was a brute of a delivery and could have got anyone out.

 

Actually we have posted decent total considering our appalling start.

 

Question should be asked of Shami, Bumrah and Bhuvi. Looked like a baby bowler infront of Shaheen Afridi.

[sensible-indian]

There is a slight fear about KL being a choker.

 

But he has also shown he can radically transform as a bat in his career.

 

I am banking on that.

Kohli would have defended it. He dropped his head way too low. It was a combination of great bowling + poor technique. You are always going to face some great deliveries in big events.

Till now, he hasn't.

 

Shreyas Iyer is a better pressure player and he has a positive attitude in his game too.

 

In situations such as 23/3 or 31/3, he and Pant always performs and save their team. So, I would like to see Pant and Iyer batting together at 4 & 5 for Indian team. They compliment each other well too.

Bowlers were ineffective for sure and should be questioned but according to me  30-3 was the bigger concern, we lost 70% of the battle right there

Yeah he will transform into Bradman against those mighty Namibia, Scotland and Afghanistan only to  shat in his pantss when it matters the most

I think he was relieved that Afridi cleaned him up...didnt want none of this rebuild and graft bul###t in tough situations

You mean like how he did through out the test series in England? Yes different format, but clearly he showed the mindset to graft in tough situations

 

Let's not get Carried away with this criticism

Nice deflection, this is his second ICC tournament - given the circumstances he opened in the 2019 WC his performances weren't that bad. If you're nitpicking we have 2 certified duds from a combined of 25-30 ICC KO's who've shat the bat in at least 20 of them!

I was'nt talking particularly about knockouts , this match was'nt a knockout, was it?

[Vancouver]

He is a timing player and does not belong to T20s. His innings for KXIP were pleasing on the eye but he single handily lost most matches for them with slow start. You cannot afford a Rohit Sharma ODI start in a T20. 

 

He is a gun test player and should be kept away from LOIs and T20s for team India at least.

He is undoubtedly amongst top 5 t20 batsman in the world

[ShoonyaSifar]

Kohli PR missed all those ODIs Rahul won batting at 4/5 in the last 24 months??  Maybe they were not very important as Kohli failed in so many of them

[Adamant]

Here comes the mental patient, he is talking about regular bilateral performances when the thread is on a totally different topic

And that too mocking Kohli for not performing in bilaterals   .Abhi record dikhaun kya ?
