KL Rahul missed out on his stellar performance in T20 World Cup 2022, but his potential cannot be ignored. He is a batsman who can only send the ball across the boundary line using the wrist. Not only this, there have been many occasions when he has brought the team out of the middle and won it.
Opening the innings in T20 World Cup 2022, KL Rahul has only disappointed the fans. Whenever the team needed him, he left the team in the middle of that match itself. Looking at Rahul’s current performance, it is believed that a player in Team India could have been included in the squad.
ThisPplayer Can Be Included
KL Rahul was kept along with captain Rohit Sharma as the opening squad in the T20 World Cup 2022. At the same time, Team India had a strong opener for such a big tournament, but the selectors ignored them.
The experienced opener Shikhar Dhawan has not been made a part of the T20 format for a long time by the selectors. At the same time, KL Rahul, who is repeatedly flopping, is being given a chance in his place. Shikhar Dhawan’s record compared to KL Rahul on Australian soil has been impressive.
Wreaked Havoc On Australian Soil
KL Rahul’s performance in T20 World Cup 2022 was a complete flop; he only managed to score half-centuries against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe but proved to be a letdown against Netherlands, Pakistan, South Africa and England in the semi-finals.
Talking about Shikhar Dhawan, on Australian soil, he has scored 271 runs in 8 innings of 9 matches at an average of 33.87, including 2 half-centuries. Seeing his performance, he could have been included in Team India’s squad instead of KL Rahul, but the selectors considered it necessary to give Rahul a chance.
Amazing In Big Matches
In the T20 World Cup 2022, KL Rahul proved unsuccessful even against a weak team like the Netherlands, far from big teams. On the other hand, if we talk about Shikhar Dhawan, he has set an excellent record against everyone, whether Australia, Pakistan, England or South Africa.
At the same time, in this tournament, KL Rahul did not even cross the ten mark in all the matches except his half-century innings against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
