He is the most nervous Indian batsman i have ever seen. Stage fright is his problem.

He is struggling in odis from some time also his test average have dropped significantly .he made a good start to international career but now turning into another Robin uthappa
Uthappa never had the first-class/IPL performances that Rahul did so was never expected to be very good.he made a good start to international career but now turning into another Robin uthappa
I'm confused!
Is this rahul the same as kl rahul(i might have got the intials wrong, i dont watch much indian cricket)?
Yes.
The "l" in "kl" just stands for Lokesh.
Thanks bro for answering that, i was get really confused.
I still dont get it, is it kl rahul or lk(lokesh)rahul.
Oh, now that makes sense!His full name is Kannur Lokesh Rahul (KL Rahul).
Oh, now that makes sense!
Thanks bro, for that!
No problem g
Knowing our luck, he will probably score a century against us.Whatever his name, he will be long forgotten in the next coming years. Simply not good enough.
It will be shameful for Babar if he ended anything less than 50 hundreds in ODIs & 27 hundreds in tests. A player of 25,000 runs in international cricket (tests+ODIs), it will be an achievement for rahul if he managed to score half of the Babar's runs.
He has got chances, but only recently has he got a consistent run. Before that, they only looked him as a backup opener and he never got a decent run even when performing well.Number of chances Rahul has got, would've probably made a world class batsman out of someone like Mayank.
How recent is your recent?He has got chances, but only recently has he got a consistent run. Before that, they only looked him as a backup opener and he never got a decent run even when performing well.
Mind you I'm talking about all the chances he has got in all formats of the game.
Proof?As for your backup opener theory, well he himself was unwilling to play in middle over and was adamant to play as an opener only.
Backing KL Rahul to outscore Babar in this WC
Babar - 48, KL Rahul - 57
TBF, Babar had to deal with a superior bowling line up as compared to KL Rahul. Bhuvi's injury did help Babar though.

Credit where credit is due, KL didn't lose his wicket against amir and helped Rohit by not having to face amir much initially and let him settle. After first 3 overs were over from amir then the bowling was easy compared to what Babar faced from our spinners.
However I will still say the first 3 overs from amir were toughest to face in this match for Asian players.
KL was struggling even after Amir's first spell.
There is no evidence that he is a match winner either.
Both KL and Babar are well below someone like Rohit who actually wins you matches.

KL Rahul may not be as consistent as Babar, but he is a match winner in all three formats of the game
He is only a matchwinner in T20Is as is Babar. He has only won one match in tests or ODIs.
Time and time again it will prove that this kl does not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence.
As Babar Azam
True.
Kl should be given one last chance against windieS,if he fails he shpuld be booted out.
Gill will leave everyone to dust soon. We don’t need nervous guys batting. India set higher bar for batsmen.

Rohit Sharma was far worse for a good first 5 years of his career . He’s nervous , cos he’s played 16 games in last 4 years and half of those in the middle order . Gill will not survive either if he’s not given a consistent run .
Hasn't done any sort of ahsaan on Indian team. He was chosen in a world cup team for heaven's sake, every cricketer's dream. If he won't step in if someone gets injured, when else will he?I appreciate Rahul filling up decently the huge vacuum created by Dhawan.
He is miles ahead of Rahul in ODIs but equally mediocre as him in Tests. Rahul is a beast in T20s though.Time and time again it will prove that this kl does not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence.

Babar is a mental midget too. Always bottles when pressure is on. Same reason why you are poor chasers.Babar average over 50 in tests since last year and is the number 1 t20 batsman. Rahul , even though admittedly more talented than any Pakistani batsman, looks like a Pakistani batsman in the mould of Asad Shafiq when he is out there batting. Mental midget.

Rahul had great test averages too when he played on Indian pattas. His deficiencies got exposed while touring abroad. Babar was struggling to score even in UAE and only recently upped his ante. I would change my opinion once he continues this form in Tests in the coming seasons too.
And in T20s, Rahul’s power game is way better than Babar and that reflects in his strike rate too.
KL Rahul is not just IPL basher. He averages 45 with a strike rate of 150 in T20Is.
In tests he has 4 centuries outside India. How many centuries does Babar have in total.
Babar has edge only in ODIs. We will get to know whether KL Rahul has it in him to be a good ODI player by end of this WC.
People asking not to put Rahul and Babar in same sentence should ask their boy to score a test hundred in Australia and England first then talk![]()
Has 5 centuries but still averages less than babar lol.

What no comparison? You are talking as if Babar wining you matches left, right, center.
But he scored 5 centuries....India have good that I do not know why they keep on this show off guy in the team.In tests, it would be sheer stupidity to play KL Rahul over players like Agarwal and Prithvi. So I hope that Rahul never plays tests for us again. Thank you for your services and thank you for flopping so bad in Oz that Agarwal was SOSed.
There is no comparison in tests, Rahul is far ahead, Babar has nothing to show for in tests except a 90 in NZ and a few cutipie shots to Steyn.
He has won us matches yes..
!27 vs AUs and a good gutsy 68 vs Eng,a ood season in SA,his test ranking can tell you.
Good season in SA? Lmao!!!27 vs AUs and a good gutsy 68 vs Eng,a ood season in SA,his test ranking can tell you.
Again in parallel universe you might have won that match but here you lost to Aus. That gutsy 68 you are talking about he was overshadowed and outperformed by Hafiz of all people. As I said only good for accumulating and playing handy second fiddle.
Good season in SA? Lmao!!
You surely have low standards as far as batting is concerned.
Have those matches taken place in parallel universe? Because on this earth they haven't occured yet. Come back when Babar does something to write home about else he will always be considered as poor man's Amla. Rahul, albeit inconsistent, is a match winner while Babar at his best can play nice second fiddle with better and more aggressive batsmen, like Hafiz or Harris for example.
You looks to be a kid not watching the test cricket,his 127 in tests was in winning cause,he scored 91 against Nz on defficult pitch,he scored 68 in england in test get your facts right,he is one of the reason we have been winning t20 lately,his odi inning is of great value in keeping the batting of a fragile line up together,Imagine him playing in with likes of Kohli and Rohit,He would have been far superior.This Rahul guy even does not deserve to be in Indian odi or test team and Agarwal showed that in Aus tour,fans like you are the reason India have not been so ruthless despite the talent they have in batting.Sorry for hasrh words but its true.
