Minnow basherI didn't know KL had a SR of 140 - higher than both Kohli and Rohit in T20s.
If he has that SR while being selfish, I look forward to seeing his game when he plays with #intent

I don't think he will ever change. Langer must have told him in stern words at ipl .He had a war with his franchise owner after srh dismantled them in 8 overs.Gambhir being the coach of lsg has not picked kl for 22 t20 wc.He is selfish to the core, that's why he is a good batsmen in the test especially in sena where one end has to be tight but not any where elseIf he can change his selfish, statpadding tuk tuk approach, he could become a great player with the talent he possesses.
Even in tests he plays just 1 customary good innings in the series and that's it.that's why he is a good batsmen in the test especially in sena where one end has to be tight but not any where else
Dravid kept on moving kl but made sure he sticks with team.issue is no one else is threatening enough ti dislodge him at 5 in sena.Jurel can be good in sc.I am not sure about sarfaraz with pace and bounceEven in tests he plays just 1 customary good innings in the series and that's it.
Rahul bhai holding it down. He’s got ice in his veins. He’s him.
Rishab pant or Ishaan should get a chance in ODI cricket.. KL Rahul's time is over now!Biggest coward to ever play international cricket.
The sooner we move on to Dhruv Jurel the better it is for Indian cricket.

He didn't choke, he is simply not good enough, for more than 4-5 years at least. Just that wise men of BCCI can't see that.Kl Rahul once against choked as usual. His team was in control but he came and played the worst shot that was ever needed in that scenario and potentially helped SL to get back in the game. Time to move forward and play pant ahead of him if no one else is there. I think Dhruc Jurel is another guy who can be looked upon.
Am worried about first three.bottom three dont have any pr clout to survive till next wc especiallyin odi format.Rohit ,Kohli have to leave on their terms hopefully after ct25.Kl have to be thrown out just like t20sKohli, Rahul, Rohit, Jadeja, Ashwin, Shami should all have retired from ODI’s after 2023 WC.

Yep, but luckily for other teams J shah would lobby for it.40 year old Kohli/Rohit in 2027 will be a disaster
Kohli much better than so many youngsters in fitness. He will definitely play 2027 wcCT25 should have been the first taste youngsters got to experience big tournaments.
CT is useless kind of event and it would have been a perfect opportunity for youngsters to play a ODI tournament and get much needed confidence in such tournaments.
World Cup is the only tournament which matters in ODI. CT would have been the perfect prep for it.
But alas, as always we don’t think long term and only care about short term and sponsors money.
40 year old Kohli/Rohit in 2027 will be a disaster.
I agree with u.indian selection policy is about milking money.These cricketer's will push agenda like ct is swansong for them and bcci is happy to oblige it.But alas, as always we don’t think long term and only care about short term and sponsors money.

What led to the decline in his skills? I recall him being a fiercely aggressive T20 player, famously scoring a century against West Indies in that iconic T20I match between India and West Indies.Lord knows how long we'll have the bear this Atlantic ocean sized liability.
LSG will learn after burning few more bundles that every true cricket lover already knows- Rahul is ultimate mental midget and bottler.LSG Likely To Retain KL Rahul Ahead Of IPL 2025 Mega Auction – Report
Indian Premier League franchise Lucknow Super Giants is likely to retain captain KL Rahul ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. According to a report in Cricbuzz on Monday (August 26), Rahul, who joined the Lucknow-based franchise for Rs 17 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, met LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka on Monday in the franchise’s Kolkata office.
The one-hour-long meeting between the two was reportedly centred around the team composition for the new season of the cash-rich league and the potential retention of Rahul. While there is no guarantee that LSG will retain Rahul, the fact that he was called on by the owner could be a pointer to it.

lol. KL Rahul should do something which is not worth trolling. For example, do something that Pandya did in the T20 WC and won people over with his performances.KL Rahul during an interview on a Podcast:
"I used to be good with [handling] trolling. I did not care, but I feel I was much younger back then. And then, a couple of years back, I was exposed to a lot of trolling. If I sat, I got trolled, if I stood, I got trolled."
I am done with the trolling now. For the last one and a half years, I have gotten off Instagram completely. I still go, post and do my things and get out of that place as quickly as possible."
Surprised to see Iyer on this list. I totally thought Iyer is boss against spin.KL Rahul doesn't have a promising record against spinners in the recent past

Yeah he need freedom for tuk tuk and stat padKL Rahul, in an interview with a local sports media outlet:
"All of us as players want to play with freedom, and everyone would think that the way I batted, I'm enjoying playing that. But like I said, my thought process and motivation have always been team first. It doesn't matter what I want to do or what my natural game is. We play a team sport. If I played tennis, it would be different; I could stick to saying, 'This is my natural game.' But in a team sport, it's very different. Each game, you'll have a different role and responsibility given to you to find a way to deliver for the team.”
"I haven't changed over the years. I want to still play for India in all three formats and have done that for many years. I've been out of the T20 team for a while, and I know where I stand as a player and what I need to do to get back. So, I look forward to this IPL season to give me that platform to enjoy my cricket and play the way I want to.”
In away tests and challenging conditions he has been decent. Still remember that ton in SA. Its the easier conditions he struggles massively for no apparent reasonShowing his maturity.
Its been a trend to hate him but he's been a very dependable batter for us. and all format batter.
He should let go off T20 ambitions and focus on securing his spot in test cricket where we need him the most now.
I have always maintained that he is a better test batter than his stats. Just that he has find himself unlucky to be seen as the player for tough conditions because he often does the hard work and gets out.In away tests and challenging conditions he has been decent.

It's unfair to KL Rahul. Even though he's been playing well as an opener, he'll have to bat lower down the order as soon as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are back in the team.
It's like he's being moved around too much and not given a set batting position, unlike other players. This constant changing of his position makes it seem like the team is just experimenting with him.
Michael Atherton had more guts.I have always maintained that he is a better test batter than his stats. Just that he has find himself unlucky to be seen as the player for tough conditions because he often does the hard work and gets out.
He is Indian Mike Atherton.
