Prasad questioned Rahul’s presence in the team

Lokesh Rahul has not been in the known rhythm for several days. The wicket-keeper batsman did not get off to a good start in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home. Only 20 runs came from his bat in the Nagpur Test. And that’s why this Indian star is facing criticism. Venkatesh Prasad, the former cricketer of the country, directly said that Rahul is getting a chance in the regular team due to bias. 

Prasad feels that Rahul has been given enough opportunities in Test cricket. But this opener could not establish himself in white clothes. Like playing in his place, Prasad is watching many Indian cricketers. He also named some young batsmen who have been in form recently. But he alleged that the team was selected based on good relations rather than performance.

Prasad wrote in a tweet in this regard, “Rahul has been given enough opportunities in Tests. I don’t know anyone like him who has got so many opportunities. But his performance is much worse than expected. Currently youngsters like Shubman Gill, Sarfraz Khan are in good form. Give them a chance. They should be given a chance. I doubt how much performance is given priority during team selection. “

Prasad also wrote, “No one wants to open their mouth about Rahul’s poor performance. Because, he is the captain of a team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In that case, many people are under contract with the team. Many people do not dare to open their mouths against the captain. Once the audience used to criticize, wish the team well. Now that can’t be seen either. I don’t see anyone’s mentality to tell the truth. “

But Prasad has no doubts about Rahul’s talent and skills. But this former Indian star is not happy with his performance. Only time will tell whether the electorate will be swayed by his criticism. However, it is quite possible that Rahul will play in the next match of Border – Gavaskar Trophy. This experienced batsman may try to match himself in that match.
