KL Rahul failed to inspire Team India in the first ODI against South Africa. The visitors lost the game by 31 runs. Former cricketer Saba Karim believes it is still early to take a call on Rahul’s leadership abilities.
Speaking on the YouTube channel Khelneeti, Saba Karim said that KL Rahul needs more time to prove himself as a captain. He also suggested that the 29-year old’s batting form is likely to have an impact on his leadership.
“We should give some time to KL Rahul. He needs to concentrate on his batting. He will shine as a captain if he can score a lot of runs with the bat,” he said.
