KL Rahul: The Indian team has to play the 5-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy with Australia this month. KL Rahul, who is out of form, has also been included in this series. But, the BCCI included him in the second unofficial Test against Australia A before the first Test to be played in Perth on November 22.
Where KL Rahul played the second Test under the captaincy of Rituraj Gaikwad. But, the selectors got the same result as was seen in the last two Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Meanwhile, a post is going viral on social media. In which the news of KL Rahul’s retirement has created a sensation?
Did KL Rahul retire from cricket?
KL Rahul is one of the star batsmen of Team India. But, his current form is a danger signal for his career. KL Rahul is being given continuous chances by the captain and team management. On which the fans are also raising questions. But, the selectors believe that KL Rahul is 1 innings away from his form. But, that innings is not coming out of his bat and he is giving continuous flop innings one after the other.
On the other hand, a post related to KL Rahul’s retirement is going viral on social media. This post is quite old when he was in bad form and once again it has come into discussions. In which it is written that , “After a lot of thinking, I have decided that I am retiring from international cricket. This decision is not easy for me. But, cricket is a part of sports. I am thankful to my fans.” But, this post is completely baseless. There is no truth in this post. KL Rahul has not retired from international cricket.
How did the news of retirement come
The news of KL Rahul’s retirement came into the limelight when he was injured. Before this, he was struggling with poor form. He shared a post on his Insta story in which he wrote that he is going to make some big announcement soon. His fans linked this story to his retirement and then many fake retirement posts went viral. However, once again seeing his continuous poor form, the news of his retirement has come into the headlines and there are possibilities that he may say goodbye to the T20 format, because he is not being given importance in this format. Due to poor form, he can take a big decision in the coming days.
KL Rahul has been included in the India A team before the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Where the Indian team is playing a 2 Test match series in Australia. KL Rahul was included in the squad for the second match of this series. The board’s thinking behind this is that he can know the conditions of Australia well and regain his form by playing big innings.
But, in the second Test played in Melbourne, Rahul was out in Sask after scoring 4 runs in the first innings and 10 runs in the second innings against the novice bowlers. His poor form is a big alarm bell for his career. Even before this, Rahul could not score runs in the Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand.
If this continues, KL Rahul can announce his retirement from international cricket. Because, he himself has accepted that he is going through the last phase of his career. He can retire from cricket anytime. Because, a cricketer can serve the team for a maximum of 40 years. It is clear from his statement that he can take some big step in the coming days.
