India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: Once again KL Rahul’s flop show has continued against Bangladesh. During the press conference before the Test match, KL Rahul said that we will play aggressively against Bangladesh. He said that we know the importance of this victory. What position are we in and what do we have to do to qualify for the final? Cricket fans have lashed out at KL Rahul for his statement on his poor performance.
Indian top-order batsman captain KL Rahul is continuously performing poorly and is not living up to the expectations of cricket fans. He put up another poor performance in the ongoing Test match against Bangladesh. The Indian team decided to bat first after winning the first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul started the Indian innings as opening batsmen. The pair added 41 runs for the opening wicket before poor shot selection by Shubman Gill. Gill was dismissed by Taijul Islam for 20 runs.
After Shubman Gill, KL Rahul also got out on the ball of Khalid Ahmed and went to Pavillion. Now due to the poor performance of KL Rahul, he is being mocked for his statement given before the Test series. Rahul had said before the match, “I was watching these two matches against Pakistan. It was really fun to see him playing Test cricket like this. Very fearless, and aggressive, about the game. We also have to play aggressive cricket.
During Asia Cup, T20 World Cup, and the first T20 against Bangladesh, he failed to show his best performance in the Test match as well. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul is leading the Indian team both as captain and batsman. He is currently being trolled on social media for the ‘aggressive cricket’ remark he made before the game.
The Indian team recently suffered a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series against Bangladesh. The Shakib Al Hasan-led side has never found success against the Indian side in the red-ball format. In the 11 matches played so far, India has won nine times and the remaining two matches have been drawn.
