‘More opportunities now with KL Rahul…’, Gavaskar’s big statement before IND vs PAK match

New Delhi. KL Rahul continues to struggle with his injury. He was selected in the squad for the Asia Cup. But due to injury, he will not be able to play in the league matches against both Pakistan and Nepal. Two days later, the World Cup team will also be selected. In such a situation, former opener Sunil Gavaskar has said a lot about KL Rahul. Gavaskar said that the selectors should now look at the option of KL Rahul.

Sunil Gavaskar in a conversation with India Today said that there is no doubt that KL Rahul is a good batsman, but it may be risky to pick such a player in the squad for the World Cup, who did not play a single match a month ago. tournament. is

Selectors should look beyond KL Rahul: Gavaskar
Gavaskar said, “You know KL Rahul did not go to Sri Lanka with the team, maybe he wanted his treatment to continue under the same physio who was treating him at the NCA. So I think Rahul’s situation is critical as he will not play any match before September 5. In such a situation, how do you decide on a World Cup team? Because practice matches are different and achieving match fitness is different. So I think it will be difficult for the selection committee.

Number-1 team Pakistan has two major weaknesses, if Team India gets injured then victory will be complete, Babar Azam will also keep rubbing his hands.

Giving further advice, Gavaskar said the selectors have to look beyond KL Rahul. Gavaskar said, “You can get the answer in the first two matches. So in this situation you have to look beyond Rahul. This is sad but this is the truth.” Because you can’t take chances with them. I am not against him but if he is not facing match conditions before the World Cup squad is announced then it is difficult for him to make a place in the World Cup squad.
