India National Cricket Team batter Rahul arguably is one of the unluckiest players in Indian cricket. The keeper-batter, despite being successful, hasn't got the longer rope at the position where he has scored a lot of runs, especially in the ODIs.
Axar Patel was promoted ahead of KL Rahul in both games, and he cashed in the opportunity. But for keeper-batter, the new position hasn't been fruitful. He managed just 2 runs in the first innings and then got a score of 10 in the second game in Cuttack.
What they are doing with KL Rahul is not fair - Kris Srikkanth
"Shreyas Iyer is in good form, which is a positive for India. But I feel for KL Rahul, it’s very unfortunate. Yes, Axar Patel is scoring 30s and 40s, but what they are doing with KL Rahul is not fair. Look at his record; he has excelled at No. 5 with a brilliant record. I don’t know what the team management is thinking regarding his position. If he bats at No. 6 or 7, he ends up scoring 6 or 7. It’s unfair,"
KL Rahul might end up warming the bench again - Kris Srikkanth
Kris Srikkanth stressed that by pushing KL Rahul down the order, they are undermining his confidence. He added that team management might play Rishabh Pant in the third ODI and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and drop Rahul from the team. He added:
"Now, what you’ve done is you’ve sidelined Rishabh Pant as well. One of them has to play. I have a feeling Pant will feature in the third ODI and then in the Champions Trophy too. Rahul might end up warming the bench again. You should play your best player at No. 5, regardless of whether he is left-handed or right-handed."
