For a while now, KL Rahul’s form in international cricket had been a big headache not only for Virat Kohli but also the Indian team management. In fact, Indian chief selector MSK Prasad was extremely disappointed with KL Rahul’s form in the home series against West Indies and Australia. He was then asked to play in India A team against English Lions. Prasad had indirectly hinted that he could be dropped from the World Cup 2019 if he doesn’t score runs on the board. After doing well against English Lions, he made a comeback in the international squad against Australia in the home series where teams are playing a couple of T20Is and five ODIs. Rohit Sharma Could Join Elite List Comprising MS Dhoni & Suresh Raina During India vs Australia, 2nd T20I 2019.

The opening batsman scored 50 runs off 36 balls and became the highest scorer of the team. Now, ahead of the second T20I which is slated to happen today in Bengaluru in the evening, KL Rahul was seen sweating it out in the nets and looked in sublime form.

During the presentation ceremony, even Virat Kohli said that both KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant deserve enough chances.
