Rohit Sharma is the real villain, not Rahul? See what statistics say

KL Rahul tried to adapt himself to every role of Team India. In the last few years, there is no player who can compare to KL Rahul. And in such a situation it is natural that it becomes difficult for a player to maintain consistency and continuity in every role. Due to this, Rahul’s form has collapsed and now his name is being sacrificed. 3 Test series is going on between India and New Zealand.

Before the start of the series, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir gave a clear message about Rahul, who will be part of the playing eleven. Not only that, it has been said that the playing eleven will not be decided based on the discussions on social media before the Pune Test. But when the final-11 was announced, Rahul’s name was not in it. With this, it was almost certain that Rahul would not get a place in the playing eleven.

Team captain Rohit Sharma’s batting performance is also not better than Rahul’s. Rohit Sharma has scored only two centuries and two fifties in the last 20 innings. His average in these 20 innings is just 29.26. But in these 11 matches he scored only 556 runs. These figures are after the tour of South Africa.

KL Rahul has made significant contributions to Team India since his Test debut in 2014, especially as an opener. Rahul has scored over 2,600 runs in Test cricket and has an average of 35. It includes 7 centuries and many fifties. His highest score in Test cricket is 199 runs, which highlights his ability to play long and impressive innings.

Rahul’s recent form in Test cricket against New Zealand has brought a mixture of concern and support. In the first Test in Bengaluru, KL Rahul struggled with scores of 0 and 12 in both innings, leading to criticism.
