The former Indian fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad once again trolled KL Rahul in a series of tweets after failing in the first innings of the second Test. The second Test between India vs Australia is currently being played in New Delhi. KL Rahul’s poor form is not leaving him, and still getting the opportunities ahead of many in-form players raises several questions. Even in the first Test held at Nagpur, he has not contributed with his bat. After the first Test, Venkatesh Prasad slams KL Rahul for being inconsistently consistent. Despite being out of form, KL Rahul was once again selected in the Playing XI for the second Test, and he failed again in the first innings scoring only 17 runs in 41 balls.
Venkatesh Prasad Trolls KL Rahul Again
Adding to his five-tweet-long tweet from last week, Venkatesh Prasad added that the worried run continues. He also questions the management for their rigidity. In a series of tweets, Venkatesh Prasad wrote,
“And the torrid run continues. More to do with rigidity of the management to persist with a player who just hasn’t looked the part. No top order batsman in atleast last 20 years of Indian cricket has played these many tests with such a low average. His inclusion is ….”

Venkatesh Prasad continued,
“deliberately denying talented guys, in form guys an opportunity to be in the 11. Shikhar had a test avg of 40+ , Mayank has of 41+ with 2 double hundreds, Shubhman Gill in sublime form, Sarfaraz never ending wait.. Many domestic performances constantly ignored. His inclusion is…”

“His inclusion shakes belief in Justice. SS Das had great potential,so did S Ramesh,both avgd 38+but did not get beyond 23 test matches. Rahul’s consistent inclusion gives an impression of lack of batting talent in India which isn’t true. Last 5 years his avg is below 27 in 47 inn”

“As per me ,he is currently not amongst the current 10 best opener’s in India but is being given endless chances. Guys like Kuldeep Yadav put in man of the match performances and next game are dropped with theories like Horses for courses. In any course ,KL is not a horse. Sad”

KL Rahul has been out of form for a long, and there are many better players knocking on the door. Shubman Gill, who is in the form of his life, is on the bench because of KL Rahul. The second Test is properly balanced after Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin’s counter-attacking partnership. The second day of the second Test ends with Australia at 61 for 1. If KL Rahul does not score in the second innings, he should not be in the squad. What do you guys think about Venkatesh Prasad’s allegation? Let us know in the comments below.
