Rahul will play the WTC final despite scoring an average of 11 in the last 10 innings! How correct is the decision of the selectors
The ongoing Indian Premier League is keeping cricket lovers well entertained. Similarly, the Indian team for the final match of the World Test Championship has been announced on Tuesday (April 25). Ajinkya Rahane has also been given a chance to play for the country after a long time in the squad announced by the BCCI. On the other hand, many are questioning the selection of experienced opener KL Rahul in this team.
KL Rahul has been struggling with poor form for quite some time now. Rahul played his last match for the Indian team against Australia in Delhi. In this match, he scored 17 runs in the first innings and 1 in the second innings. He last scored a century in the Test format in December 2021 against South Africa. He scored 123 runs in this match. But after that, Rahul has been seen struggling to score runs from the back. Meanwhile, 50 remains his highest score.
Rahul’s performance in the last 10 Test innings
*12 runs vs South Africa (2022)
*10 runs vs South Africa (2022)
*22 runs vs Bangladesh (2022)
*23 runs vs Bangladesh (2022)
*10 runs vs Bangladesh (2022)
*2 runs vs Bangladesh (2022)
*20 runs vs Australia (Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023)
*Did not bat in the second innings
*17 runs vs Australia (Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023)
*1 run vs Australia (Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023)
In the last 10 Test innings, Rahul has contributed only 117 runs for the team. During this time he has averaged 11.7 and has not been able to reach the 25-run mark even once. Rahul is scoring runs in IPL 2023, but his strike rate is proving capital for critics. All eyes will be on whether the selectors’ decision to pick him for the WTC final is right or wrong.
