In a blunt response to Prasad’s tweet, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar referred to Shubman Gill as “informal.”
Venkatesh Prasad, a former cricketer for India, caused quite a stir with his widely circulated tweet about KL Rahul, in which he accused the Indian team management and the BCCI selectors of having “favoritism” toward the batter.
During India’s match against Australia on Saturday in Nagpur. Where Rahul struggled to get off to a good start, a number of tweets were sent out. In a blunt response to Prasad’s tweet, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar referred to Shubman Gill as “informal.”
Prasad stated that Rahul, who has been “consistently inconsistent,” has been selected based on “favoritism” in the presence of talented and in-form players like Gill and Sarfaraz Khan on Twitter on Saturday.
Just moments before India’s emphatic victory by innings and 123 runs in Nagpur against the Pat Cummins-led team.
Prasad also criticized cricket experts and former players for not calling it out out of fear of losing their IPL broadcaster contracts.
In response to the series of tweets, Gavaskar told India Today that based on Rahul’s performance over the past two to three years.
He will likely be selected for the second Test against Australia in New Delhi. Management can make a decision after the game if Gill is available to take his place.
He has performed well, according to how he has batted over the past two or three years. He will undoubtedly receive support for the Test match in Delhi.
After that, you can think about it because he said, Shubman Gill. A good batter is ready to take his place.
Madan Lal, a former India all-rounder also participated in the conversation. Recalled batting Vikram Rath our’s support for Rahul during a recent press conference when he supported Gavaskar.
Even when Vikram Rathour showed up to the press conference, he kept referring to the century he scored in South Africa.
He has the ability but hasn’t been at his best recently. Scoring runs against Australia is a big challenge in and of itself, and scoring runs helps morale.
He might be stuck here. However, given his capabilities, he ought to be given another chance,” he stated.
