tapandrun Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) BCCI thought of KL is next big thing and placed all their eggs in 1 basket. Earlier BCCI use to back only proven performer but this time they wanted to get some sellable faces before Rohit and Kolhi are phased out of Intnl cricket. Pant and KL were their two picks to stardom (who will bring sponsors and eyeballs for years to come)and it failed, now they are backing Gill and he is getting to play all formats even if he is not fit for T20s or tests. Last two managements have left with no other option to pick KL even if he is injured. He is undropable in ODIs now. Do not think Kishan and Samson are intnl material, be it temperament or technique. Samson has just 1 century in FC cricket. If kishan would have been playing for any other team tham MI he would have not been in the team. Edited August 28, 2023 by tapandrun

KL Rahul due to IPL has accumulated quiet a number of sponsors. That is why selectors are keeping him relevant.

Has he been in the winning team or helped the winning team with match winning performances? I am sorry I don't follow the IPL much. The peerless KL in international cricket so far has had a eminently forgettable career. Frustrated and Suhaan 2

Pant before his injury was at least in test cricket a person who could turn a match and has given pleasure even to our opponents with his batting exploits. The peerless KL is a nobody. raki05, Gollum, Sgattick10 and 1 other 4

It always has to be in relation to the overs consumed for same. Even then it is a partial picture because the asking rate also matters. The RR can on its own be good but still lesser than the ask rate. Then it is irrelevant that it is good. Basically all that matters in LOI is who won the game? Did one help win the game? Gavaskar's 36 n.o. looks good in vacuum. When you say in 60 overs..... it is like "Yikes"!!!!! Will contend for the worst ODI innings ever!

Frustrated Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I think Kela is actually fully fit. TM is acting smart this time around, and wants to unleash his 'carnage' directly against the arch rival in the asia cup final. As u must be aware, he is the only mystery batsman in our team.

Coach captain selectors think an injured, out of form, make-shift keeper who is primarily an opener now turned into a middle order batsman is the key to our potential success. Without Rahul we may not win WC but I don't know how a 10man team + Rahul will win you WC. Austin 3:!6, vvvslaxman, tweaker and 2 others 1 1 3
AKane Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 The Indian cricket team is not about cricket and India. The Indian cricket team is about KL Rahul. Suhaan 1
wanted_desi Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 It is going to rain everyday in Lanka. He should just stay in hotel to make sure he doesn't slip in the ground/streets.
