Good but he needs to keep wckts to stay in the team … his big match temperament is a issue … not the strike rate or avg . Playing against weaker teams will take care of averages and strike rates

Rahul as a batter is superb. Only thing is that, he fails to perform during pressure matches. Hence people tend to forget about his calibre. Eg: 2019 ODI World Cup Semi-final.

Only to bottle up when pressure is at its peak, like yesterday. Saying it again he can’t handle pressure and we have seen it already

He is a man who top scores in pre-board and monthly test and fails in the final exams. So even with a record equivalent to Don is immaterial, when it comes to KL. https://t.co/eoUuHxKApC
