Failed to score in the first three matches of the ongoing T20 series against England KL Rahul Is being criticized. Rahul was able to score 1,0,0 runs in three matches. Many are questioning why Rahul is given a chance to perform poorly when India has so many good players.

After the match, however, skipper Virat Kohli had said that Rahul was the champion batsman. He should be on the team. Virat also said that he would be the first choice as an opener along with Rohit. Not just Virat but the team’s batting coach to take Rahul’s side Vikram Rathore Also came forward.

Not scoring in just three games doesn’t change the truth. He is India’s best T20 batsman. He can play his best in a match. It will not take him long, Rathore said.

Rahul last played in Australia in December. He could not play cricket after that. Any player can go through the bad form. But KL is our best batsman. He has scored more than 40 runs at an average and a strike rate of 145. He needs our support at this moment. He will do well soon.

This can be due to not playing cricket for a long period of time. A good short can get him back in form, Rathore said.

Rahul tops ICC rankings

KL Rahul is the leading Indian batsman in the ICC T20I rankings. Rahul is fourth on the list. His poor performance in the last three matches has cost him one place. Skipper Virat Kohli’s half-century in two matches has pushed him from sixth to fifth. India has only two batsmen in the top 10.
