After licking England 4–1 in the T20 series, the Indian team also made a tremendous start in the ODI. In the first match in Nagpur, Team India had won easily. With this, he took a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series. Now the next match is going to be held on Sunday 9 February at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. This match can be the last chance for the wicketkeeper-batsman of the Indian team. We are saying this because they made a big mistake in Nagpur ODI. Sunil Gavaskar has also agitated on this. If he did not improve his mistake in the second match, he can also be out of the team.

Rahul made this mistake in Nagpur

The Champions Trophy is on the head, in which India will start from February 20. There are only 2 matches left for its preparation. To make a place in the team, the players will have to show their strength in this. Rahul has lost an opportunity, although he can still be taken into Cuttack. But they will have to rectify the mistake of Nagpur, otherwise the risk of being out will increase. Actually, KL Rahul got batting at number 6 in the last match. When he was in a very strong position at the crease to bat.

India had to score just 28 runs in 16.2 overs to win and 6 wickets were in hand.

Shubman Gill was also close to a century. Rahul started playing slow to give Gill a chance to complete his century. He was deliberately defending the ball. As a result, he fell victim to Adil Rashid after scoring 2 runs in 9 balls. Indian veteran Sunil Gavaskar was quite angry about not playing a natural game and he has heard a lot.

What did Gavaskar say to Rahul?

Gavaskar has said about Rahul that he should have played his natural game. He was just trying to defend the ball, so that Gill could get a chance to make a century. But he was out in this affair.

This is a team game and there is no need to do all this. His focus was to bring the fellow player to a milestone more than his game. In this affair, he played half-incomplete shots and was dismissed.

If Rahul gets out quickly while playing in Cuttack, then Rishabh Pant can replace him. Because many experts believe that with the arrival of Pant, the balance of the team will be good. There will be a left -handed batsman in the middle order. They also have the ability to turn the match. Therefore, if Rahul gets a chance this time, then he will have to rectify his mistake.
