KL Rahul: After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, three veterans of the Indian team Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja have announced their retirement from T20 cricket. These three will never be seen playing in this format for India again.

With this, now Team India's wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul can also announce retirement from this format. The biggest reason for this is former opener Gautam Gambhir.

KL Rahul may take retirement

Rahul has been out of India's T20 team for some time now and is not being selected in the team. In such a situation, the right-handed batsman may also have to announce retirement from this format. There is a lot of discussion and criticism about his strike rate in this format of cricket.

Even during the IPL, he has played many such innings due to which he has to face criticism and in such a situation, if Gautam Gambhir becomes the next coach of India, then it seems difficult for Rahul to be selected in this format.

Gambhir will not select Rahul in the team

Actually, there is every possibility that Gautam Gambhir is going to become the next head coach of India and if this happens then it will be very difficult for Rahul to be selected in the T20 team. Gambhir has already made it clear that he is going to make a young team for India.

From this statement of Gambhir, it can be assumed that Rahul will not be selected in the team.

Gambhir will take over as coach from Sri Lanka tour

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has already confirmed that the new coach of India will be announced before the Sri Lanka tour starting on July 27. He also informed that the names of two people have been shortlisted and who will be the next coach will be announced soon.

In such a situation, Gambhir can take over this post from the Sri Lanka tour.
