It is a good decision by team management to back KL. It is a known fact that he has huge talent and with one bad test the team cannot keep him away from playing 11.

Hatts off to rishabh ❤keep going brother🏏

BCCI is going to pay dearly for having GG as the head coach. India is going to loose lot of matches in the future, as both GG and Rohit are happy to loose.

[bksundar]

Only guy with Bollywood connection. No South guy gets that kind of protection lol

[prasadkrishna]

Looks like GG gets some commission from K.L.Rahul, otherwise he doesn't stand a chance.

[ankiira]

If a choice given to GG, a draw or a loss ... What will he choose .... Every test match has its own taste, we can't predict earlier what's we gonna to do in match ...

Gambhir coaching style might ruin indian cricket like Greg chapell India won T2o series andlost One Day series .similar here won against Banladesh andmay loose to Newzealand thus shutting indias hope of Wct Final Australia will thrash india in Australia be prepared for that

KL is not only timid, but there is fear written all over his face. Look how he missed that easy catch right in front of his eyes. He is suffering from loss of confidence. Lots of chances have been given to him. Sarfraz will easily score again. Denying him will be a big injustice. Combination of GG & Rohit with JS is going to cost Indian cricket big time. Rohit electing to bat first was the m 7:40 ost stupid call, was he blind with all that cloud cover, playing into the hands of the opposite team. . No doubt Rohit is a great bat when it comes off. Siraj deserves a rest. Good luck India.

Kl is perfect for ODIs only....i am big fan of kl but for ODIs

[kalananr]

Not a lot of draws but a lot of loses 😂

[SudeepAdhikari]

Give KLR As many matches you can Give they're thinking KLR will be key in Australia 🦘 Let's see

[thegreenarrow]

KL rahul😂what a joke, and sarfaraz is out pf playing eleven, what the hell

[tanmaymishra]

Okay, so if he plays now, I will pray that India lose this series
This guy is cancerous to Indian cricket
If India will lose a home test series then we might see him getting dropped

[tanmaymishra]

Kl Rahul has some skills of hypnotization
Earlier it was Kohli-Shastri whi kept giving him chances
Then it was Rohit-Dravid
And now he has hypnotized GG as well.
If this guy is in your dressing room, you can never become world champion, thats the kind of negative energy he brings into the team.
We will loose Champions Trophy 2025 if he is there just like WC 2023.

[Actually-yj]

Is this the team management that chose to bat first with 3 spinners in a 4 day wet damp test match?? They are clearly incompetent and need to be thrown out together with KL Rahul. We need the same clear out as what PCB recently did..

[goutam]

Gamvir has a tendency to do or tell opposite thing what others are suggesting or telling. It will backfire him badly if he fails continuously
