What is the min acceptable batting avg for a top 5/6 test batsman for India ? KL Rahul averages a mere 36 after 42 test matches

[Bigg Brother]

Cook averaged 45 and they gave him title of Sir. We had Sehwag averaging close to 50 ..Now people with inferiority complex will come and attack about how English pitches were tough to bat on.

In the first 20 odd tests he was averaging 44. Then that weakness against incoming delivery was exposed. In 2018. 23 dismissals. 6 times bowled 4 times leg before. It opened up other types of dismissals as well. Looks like after his return, he is yet to be bowled in the last 10 innings. Got leg before once. That's about it.  If he maintains that he can score runs. But we need to see it to believe it as he has underachieved so far.
