Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s recent IPL-2022 was disappointing but KL Rahul batted well, but Kapil has raised questions about these three.
If the names of the best batsmen of the present time will be taken, then the names of three players will come from India’s side. These are Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul. Whichever bowling attack these three are in front of, their bowlers tremble. Rohit and Rahul then open for Team India and Virat plays at number-3. The figures of these three are enough to tell how dangerous these people are, but former India captain Kapil Dev believes that these three do not work for the team when needed. Kapil has said that when the team needs these three get out.
The recent form of Rohit and Virat in IPL-2022 was worrying. Both the batsmen could not do anything special. Somehow two half-centuries came from Kohli’s bat, but Rohit’s bat was completely silent. This was the first season when Rohit has not scored a single century in the IPL. However, Rahul batted brilliantly. He was second in terms of scoring the most runs in this IPL season.
put pressure on the team
Kapil, who won India’s first World Cup under his captaincy, said that these people get out when needed, which puts pressure on the team. Talking on the YouTube channel Uncut, Kapil said, the credibility of these three is very big. There is also a lot of pressure on them, which should not happen. You should play cricket without fear. These three are the kind of players who can score runs at a strike rate of 150-160. When you need these guys to run, they all get out. He gets out when the innings needs to be taken forward. And this increases the pressure.
Said this thing about Rahul’s role
Kapil said about Rahul that there should be clarity about what his role is. He also said that the continuous failure of the top-3 players can force the BCCI to make changes. He said, when you talk about KL Rahul, when the team asks you to play full 20 overs, you are not out after scoring 60 runs. You are not doing justice to your team. I think the approach has to change or else you will have to change the players. Big players leave a big impact, nothing happens by having big reputation. You have to perform well.
