KL Rahul vs Australia: The much-awaited Border Gavaskar Series between India and Australia is now around the corner. The first match of the series will be played from 22nd November. There are total 5 matches in the series. Not only this, whether the Indian team will play the final of the World Test Championship or not will also be decided by this series. Meanwhile, a match is being played between India A and Australia A. Where KL Rahul has reached. However, Rahul could not do anything special in the first innings of the match. Now there is news that KL Rahul may be given new responsibility in the series. Especially as long as Rohit Sharma is absent. This is the opening work.
Rahul can open the innings in the absence of Rohit Sharma
Team India has been announced for the Australia series. It will be captained by Rohit Sharma, but earlier news had come out that Rohit Sharma may miss the first test match. That means when the entire Indian team leaves for Australia, Rohit will not be there. It is a matter of later who will be the captain in the first test, but the important question is who will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in his absence. Now updates are coming regarding this that this work can be given to KL Rahul. That means KL Rahul will once again be seen opening the innings.
Rahul is struggling with bad form
Recently, when the Indian team faced Bangladesh and then New Zealand in the Test, Rahul’s bat remained completely silent. Questions had also started being raised whether Rahul would be able to go on Australia tour or not. Although after the first Test against New Zealand, he sat out the remaining two matches, for this also he got a chance to go to Australia. But the chance he had to play an excellent innings against Australia A, he has missed that opportunity. Till now the news regarding Rohit Sharma is that he will not play the first match, but it is possible that he may miss the second match also. If this happens then only Rahul will open in both.
Rahul’s figures are like this in Australia
KL Rahul has so far played a total of 5 test matches against Australia on their own soil. In that he has scored 187 runs. But if we talk about the average, it is only 20.77. Remember, there is also an inning of 110 runs, which he played at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2015 and this inning came while opening the innings. That means he has not been able to do much in the remaining innings. Many times he has not even been successful in crossing the double figures. In such a situation, if it is said that the tour of Australia will be no less than a litmus test for KL Rahul. It remains to be seen how they go through this.
