“Consistent Non-performer” – Twitter Slams KL Rahul As He Fails In 1st Innings Of IND vs BAN Chattogram Test

India National Cricket Team stand-in captain KL Rahul was unable to play a big knock for his side in the first innings of the Chattogram Test against Bangladesh National Cricket Team on Day 1 on Wednesday, December 14.

The first Test of the two-match series between India and Bangladesh is being played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

India National Cricket Team won the toss and opted to bat first in the match. They fielded a combination of two pacers – Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav – and three spinners – Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar – in the playing XI.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, fielded the same three spinners and two seamers combination and they handed the debut cap to Zakir Hasan, who was the highest run-getter in the recently concluded National Cricket League.

Rahul has an added responsibility on his shoulders in the first Test as he is leading the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the first Test due to a thumb injury he sustained during the second ODI against the Litton Das-led Bangla Tigers in Mirpur.

Meanwhile, Rahul scored just 22 runs off 54 balls, including 3 fours, before being cleaned up by the 30-year-old pacer Khaled Ahmed in the 19th over of the innings.

On the first ball of the 19th over, the Bangladesh pacer delivered a length ball just outside the off-stump and KL Rahul wanted to play it to the point region. However, he only managed to get a thick inside edge as the ball didn’t rise much and it knocked over the stumps.

KL Rahul was absolutely gutted after his dismissal and he punched his bat with the glove in anger as he walked off the field. Several fans were disappointed with Rahul’s failure in the innings and many slammed him for his “you are going to see a lot of aggressive cricket from our side” remark, which he made at a press conference ahead of the Test series opener.

Here’s How Twitter Bashed KL Rahul After His Failure In 1st Innings:

Before his dismissal, KL was playing everything close to his body and looked solid. Plays at one slightly away, and has to walk back.

KL Rahul despite having good technique and talent often gets out against the run of play… Test Avg 35 … not good for a batsman of this calibre… #indvsbang

See That is Why KL Rahul is an ordinary player

I don't fault him that people consider him as a great talent

Because He simply isn't & Not everyone has to be great tbh

Ladies and Gentlemen..
Super aggressive cricket from #TeamIndia
Captain #KLRahul scored 22 in 54 balls before throwing his wicket with strike rate of 1000. Brilliant aggressive cricket captain @klrahul @BCCI If you’re blind then kindly get rid of this burden else WTC ❎

KL Rahul shouldn't be in the team let alone be the captain. Tells you how broken the system is.

@klrahul should say sorry to Cricket.
And those always applauding him as naturally talented guy should look into the mirror.
Wait for upcoming IPL season & the Magic..

— Prashant Sarkar (@sarkar_prashant) December 14, 2022

Dear @BCCI and whoever is listening, please remove KL Rahul from all formats. The guys just can’t play! I don’t understand why is he still stuck in the team inspite of such performances. I really don’t want to see him in the WC Squad! Then we’re losing the cup

Guess time for KL Rahul to hang up his boots in International cricket and concentrate on IPL alone

So @klrahul never disappoint indian cricket fans with his disaster show.

— Vipul Patel ?? (@vipoolpm) December 14, 2022

Kl Rahul averages 35 in test cricket at the age of 30 and he is the Indian captain… Merit word has been thrown out in Indian cricket and the way this player is playing it wouldn't be late before his average dips below 30.
