Aakash Chopra On KL Rahul: India’s star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul’s name is slowly disappearing from Team India. Rahul has already been removed from the T20 team and now there seems to be a plan to remove him from the Test team as well. Former Indian team batsman Aakash Chopra explained how KL Rahul can be dropped from the Test team.
Let us tell you that Duleep Trophy is to be played from 5th September. Many such Indian players will be seen playing in this trophy, who are making a splash in international cricket. KL Rahul’s name is also included in the list of playing Duleep Trophy. BCCI had announced four teams for Duleep Trophy, in which KL Rahul is a part of Team ‘A’. Wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel is also present in this team along with Rahul, on which Akash Chopra expressed concern and explained the shocking mathematics.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “KL Rahul is in the same Duleep Trophy team as Dhruv Jurel. I think Dhruv Jurel will play as wicketkeeper which means KL Rahul will not be your Test wicketkeeper.”
He has been discharged from the T20 team
Indian men’s team chief selector Ajit Agarkar had said in one of his press conferences that the selection committee is not looking at Rahul in the T20 team setup at the moment. Rahul was also not selected for the T20 World Cup 2024. Apart from this, Rahul’s name was also missing from the T20 series held on the Sri Lanka tour. Rahul played his last T20 International match for Team India in November 2022, which was the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup. Now it will be interesting to see whether Rahul makes a comeback in T20 or he is gone forever.
