Rahul’s 2023 calendar year average is 12.67. In three innings against Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the 30-year-old has only scored 20 runs once.
Srikkanth believes that opener Shubman Gill should be selected in place of Rahul. However, with due respect to Rahul, it is time to play Shubman. You can’t keep a player waiting when he’s in the best shape of his life, he explained.

At the moment, I can’t pinpoint a technical flaw in his game. I believe this is more mental in nature, and all Rahul needs to do is take a break and clear his mind. There’s no reason he can’t return with all guns blazing, the ex-cricketer added.
‘I call him Rolls Royce Rahul,’ says K Srikkanth, suggesting that KL Rahul ‘take a break’.
