Yesterday during the 21st over of India vs Afghanistan tie at the Asia Cup 2018, Super Four, KL Rahul was given an LBW and the batsman did not accept the decision. He opted for DRS which went unsuccessful and Rahul was sent packing on the score of 60 runs. KL Rahul later in the post-match conference went on to mention that he regretted taking the DRS. But the Twitterati minced no words for the batsman. AFG Pull Off Last Over Tie Against IND. 

The disappointed netizens took to social media and slammed KL Rahul for the taking the DRS. KL was criticised mercilessly for the bad decision. The social media users labelled him as a selfish cricketer. Check out a few tweets below:

“KL Rahul was also famous for wasting reviews in recent Test Series Against England Selfish Player #INDvAFG,” read a tweet.

Here’s another tweet.

“KL is a bit to blame for today, yes he made 61 but had the benefit of powerplay, looked average against spin, and a waste of review as well, which dearly cost us MSD and DK, both were playing spin well. #KLRahul,” posted a netizen.

“It's very tricky when you have just one review with you. Obviously, looking back at it, I felt like I shouldn't have taken the review but at that time, in the middle, I felt like maybe I was struck outside and I wanted to take that chance," Rahul said at the post-match press conference. India’s super four match against Afghanistan ended with a tie.
