'Total Waste' - Fans are frustrated as Kl Rahul gets out after scoring 2 runs against Bangladesh in the second Test

KL Rahul has not been in the best of form across all formats. Rahul is currently captaining the Indian Test side in the series against Bangladesh. In the two Tests that he has played, He scored 22 and 23 in the first Test at Chattogram across two innings and then he fared worse in the second Test as he scored 10 in the first innings and 2 in the second innings.

This has been a very poor performance from the captain of the side in this series. Rahul had a step up and show a lot more responsibility with the bat. Even in the three match ODI series against Bangladesh he scored just 95 runs in the series out of which 73 runs came in the first ODI.

In the 20-20 World Cup in Australia, he could not get going for India as he was criticised for his slow strike rate and he was labelled as a minnow basher. He scored just 128 runs in 6 matches at an average of 21.33 and at a strike rate of 120.75.

In the home series consisting of T20s before the 20-20 World Cup against Australia and South Africa he showed some signs of form, but he was very patchy and inconsistent. Even in the Indian T20 League there has been a lot of talk about him scoring slowly.

2018 was one of the best years for Rahul as he scored his maiden T20 Hundred and even in the 2021 Test series against England, the right hander came in place of Mayank Agarwal and gave a good account of himself in the Test series over there.

A lot of people were of the opinion that he was being given an extended rope for no reason and some believed that he was not deserving of a place in the Indian Team. People felt that he was being given a lot of opportunities and could not deliver.

Twitter was abuzz, let us take a look at the reactions here:

Time to call KL Rahul’s India career!! Inconsistency has been the hallmark of his career, both in white ball and red ball cricket. Incredibly lucky chap.
