“Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli were India’s top three in the 2022 World Cup. Among them, KL Rahul has been dropped or has not been picked, there is no clarity, but he is not there. There can be a discussion on that as well,”

And also added that, “His strike rate in T20Is is more than 135, so that is not bad. There are no vacant opening positions in any case, and you play him in the middle in ODIs as well, so you could have done that here too.

You play him down the order even in Tests now. However, you said you need to make some change at least.”

As he asked about all these BCCI has sat quietly without answering any of his questions.
