India has defeated Australia in the second test match of Border Gavaskar Trophy and after the match there has been lot of news as India released the squad for the coming test matches and ODI matches.
KL Rahul has been removed from the vice captaincy for the coming test matches and ODI matches.
Rahul was dismissed for just 1 run in the second innings of the Delhi Test, taking his tally to 38 runs in three innings in the series. His average hit a further low of 17 in the last 10 innings, which includes a solitary fifty-plus score.
More than India’s mighty win, the Border-Gavaskar series being retained for the fourth-successive time and the hosts inching closer to World Test Championship final, the topic that kept social media abuzz on Sunday was KL Rahul’s form and his place in the Indian Test squad. India head coach Rahul Dravid eventually gave his verdict on Rahul’s lean patch after captain Rohit Sharma revealed that “there have been talks within the team”.
Following the six-wicket win on Sunday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Dravid was asked about Rahul’s prolonged lean patch and India batting legend was rather full of praise for the opener, reminding critics of his heroics in South Africa and England. Dravid’s response also hinted towards a rather longer run for Rahul in the Test team amid calls from veterans and experts to pick in-form Shubman Gill for the third Test.
