IND vs NZ: A three-match Test series is being played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, in which India has a lead of 104 runs in the fourth day's match. If India has to win this match then the Indian team will have to be aggressive from the beginning of the day.

There is also a player in this match whose inclusion in the team is questionable. He is not able to show anything special with his batting. Leave alone international, it is difficult for him to play even in Ranji Trophy. Despite this he is part of the team. It is being said that head coach Gautam Gambhir is in control of him. So let's know who that player is-

This player is Gambhir's favorite

Gambhir is known for his different style. He does not give place to any player in the team because he is someone's favorite or because he is a big name. He believes that you should perform and cement your place in the team, but despite this there is a player in the team who is a part of the team because he is his favourite.

According to reports, it is believed that Indian team's wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is the favorite of coach Gautam Gambhir, that is why he is in the team. Rahul has not been in great form for the last few days, yet he was given a chance in the team.

Despite not being in form, KL Rahul is getting chances again and again. If we look at Rahul's last few innings, he has been very poor, neither is he able to do anything special with his bat nor is he able to make any contribution in fielding.

Record of last few matches

Talking about Rahul's last few matches, his bat has been silent in them. He has got many opportunities to prove himself but he has failed. Let us tell you that Rahul has played many matches in the last few months in which his score has been very poor. He has played 5 Tests and 2 ODIs in 2024, scoring 234 runs in Tests and only 31 runs in ODI cricket.

Such is the career of KL Rahul

Right-handed batsman KL Rahul has had a good batting average in ODI cricket. He has played 52 test matches for the country, scoring 2969 runs at an average of 34.54. Also, he has played 77 ODI and 72 T20 matches, in which he has scored 2851 and 2265 runs.
