KL Rahul’s fleet will set sail for Australia or new liability will sink ship, here’s the whole story
KL Rahul vs Australia: The much-awaited Border Gavaskar Series between India and Australia is already around the corner. The first match of the series will be played from November 22. There are a total of 5 matches in the series. Not only this, this series will also decide whether the Indian team will play the final of the World Test Championship or not. Meanwhile, a match is being played between India A and Australia A. How far has KL Rahul come. However, Rahul couldn’t do anything special in the first innings of the match. Now there is news that KL Rahul may be given a new responsibility in the series. Especially while Rohit Sharma is away. This is the opening work.
Rahul can open the innings in the absence of Rohit Sharma
Team India has been announced for the Australia series. He will be captained by Rohit Sharma, but it was earlier learned that Rohit Sharma might miss the first Test match. That means when the entire Indian team leaves for Australia, Rohit won’t be there. It is a matter of later who will captain in the first Test, but the important question is who will open for Yashasvi Jaiswal in his absence. Now updates are coming on this that this work can be given to KL Rahul. That means KL Rahul will once again be seen opening the innings.
Rahul is fighting bad form.
Recently, when the Indian team faced Bangladesh and then New Zealand in the Test, Rahul’s bat remained completely silent. Doubts also started to arise whether Rahul would be able to tour Australia or not. Although after the first test against New Zealand he missed the remaining two matches, he also had the opportunity to travel to Australia. But the chance he had to play an excellent innings against Australia A, he missed. The news so far about Rohit Sharma is that he will not play the first match, but it is possible that he will miss the second match as well. If this happens then only Rahul will open in both.
Rahul’s figures are like this in Australia
KL Rahul has so far played a total of five Test matches against Australia on their own soil. In that he has scored 187 runs. But if we talk about the average, it is only 20.77. Remember, there is also a 110-run innings, which was played at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2015 and this innings came as the innings opened. That means he hasn’t been able to do much in the remaining innings. Many times they have not even managed to cross double figures. In such a situation, if it is said that the Australia tour will be nothing less than a litmus test for KL Rahul. How they overcome this remains to be seen.
