Team India: There is a constant coming and going of players in the Indian cricket team. However, some players manage to make a permanent place in Team India. Despite their poor performance, the board and selectors do not drop them from the team.

Today in this article we are going to talk about one such player, who has become a problem for the team. Actually he is neither able to perform well for the team, nor is he vacating his place. Let us know about him in detail.

These players have become a problem for Team India

KL Rahul

Actually, the player we are talking about is none other than India's wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul. This player has been facing criticism from fans on various social media platforms for some time now.

The 32-year-old player is said to be the biggest culprit for India's defeat due to his slow innings played in the final of the ICC World Cup 2023.

Since then, the career of the right-handed batsman has fallen flat. In fact, no matter what the format, KL Rahul's bat has failed miserably in scoring runs. However, the surprising thing is that despite this, he is not dropped from the team. He was last seen in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Will be dropped in the series against Bangladesh!

In the three-match ODI series played against Sri Lanka, KL Rahul was given a place in the playing eleven in the first two matches.

While he could score only 31 runs in the first ODI, in the second ODI this player failed to even open his account. He had to suffer the consequences of this.

In fact, head coach Gautam Gambhir dropped this player from the third ODI. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was given a place in his place. In such a situation, the possibility of KL playing in the upcoming series of two Tests and three T20 matches against Bangladesh is very less.
