Player: At present, there are many players in the Indian cricket team who are constantly being given opportunities in Team India, but there are also some players who are shown the way out of the team even after performing well.
Now in this series, there is one such player, who despite poor performance remains in the team and has got a chance in the playing eleven. Captain Rohit Sharma has also given a chance to this player in the Kanpur test match.
Actually, the player we are talking about here is none other than Team India's wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul. Rahul's performance for the Indian team has not been good for some time but despite this he is being given a chance.
Rahul was also included in the playing eleven during the ongoing second Test match against Bangladesh, whereas he had performed disappointingly in the first match. KL had earlier also flopped on the Sri Lanka tour but still he is selected in the team.
At present, a 2-match test series is being played between India and Bangladesh. Even though Team India won by 280 runs in its first match, Rahul's performance was disappointing.
The right-handed batsman had scored 16 runs in 52 balls in the first innings of this match and he was out at a time when Team India had lost 5 wickets for 144 runs. Due to such innings, Team India was in trouble at one time but after this he was given a chance in the Kanpur Test match also.
Even though Rahul had performed well in Test cricket for Team India in the initial phase of his career, currently he is seen struggling in this format.
This veteran player has played a total of 51 test matches so far, in which he has scored 2901 runs with a poor average of 34.13. During this period, he has scored 8 centuries and 14 half-centuries.
