‘If I was the captain, for him…’, the flopping Rahul got the support of another legend

KL Rahul, the star player of the Indian team, is constantly flopping. He is part of the India vs Australia squad for the 4-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 Test series. India won both the first matches. He was part of the team in these matches. However, Rahul, who has been facing poor form, was also dropped from the playing eleven of the third Test after being removed from the vice-captaincy position. He has faced strong criticism. However, he received a lot of support from the team management. In this case, the former captain of Australia has also run to support him.

KL Rahul had not scored a half-century in the last 8 Test matches. On the other hand, his flop show against Australia continued. Along with the fans, some ex-legends were also demanding his removal from the team. He got support from commentator Aakash Chopra. There was an argument between Akash and Venkatesh Prasad over Rahul. Now former Australia captain Michael Clarke has come forward to support Rahul. The decision to drop Rahul from the team has not come down to him. He has said that he is a talented player. The team was not at a disadvantage in his presence.

‘I would have fought for him’
Speaking to the media, Michael Clarke said, “I actually like KL Rahul. He is a great young man and a brilliantly talented player. India is winning right now, so if I were the captain, I would have kept fighting for him. I think we are winning. I know he is not at his best, but we can take the risk of playing him in the team now. He is a good player. He will train very hard and make a comeback for us.”

“If the team is winning, I think they can keep the players who are not performing well. So I will fight for KL Rahul,” Clarke added.

Indian team status
The Indian team has won both the first two matches of the 4-match Test series. Also, they have taken a 2-0 lead in the series. Currently, the third Test match is going on in Indore.
