KL Rahul is a very talented batsman, there is no doubt about it, but when it comes to statistics, something else is visible. KL Rahul has a very poor record in Test cricket and yet he is given opportunities on occasion. This time there is talk of giving a chance to KL Rahul in the Pune Test also and the fans on social media are very angry about this. There are reports that Sarfaraz Khan, who scored a century in the last match, may be dropped from the playing eleven of Pune Test. Now head coach Gautam Gambhir has also responded on this issue.

What did Gautam Gambhir say on KL Rahul?

On KL Rahul, Gautam Gambhir said that he has confidence in this batsman and he will play big innings soon. In the press conference held in Pune, Gambhir said, 'Social media does not matter at all. What matters is what the team management and captain thinks. KL Rahul is batting well and he played a good innings against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Gambhir further said that KL Rahul also knows that he has to play a big innings and he can also play. This is why the team is with him. There are comments on everything in international cricket.

Morne Morkel practiced

However, Gautam Gambhir and his support staff are working hard to bring KL Rahul back into form. In BCCI's video, bowling coach Morne Morkel himself is making KL Rahul bowl. Morne Morkel retired 6 years ago but he is giving practice to KL Rahul by bowling excellently in the nets. Now it remains to be seen what KL Rahul does in Pune.
