KL Rahul again failed to impress in the recently-concluded two-match Test series against West Indies, which the visitors, India won by 2-0. Rahul couldn’t cross the fifty-run-mark even once in four innings that he batted despite looking extremely good with the bat in the first Test, where he made scores of 44 and 38 runs respectively.
Former Indian captain, Sourav Ganguly has opined that India should try Rohit Sharma as opener in Test cricket after Rahul’s continuous poor show.
“I had suggested earlier about trying Rohit Sharma as an opener in Test cricket and I still believe that he needs to be given an opportunity because he is too good a player to be left out in the cold,” Sourav Ganguly wrote in his column for The Times of India.
He added, “After a fantastic World Cup, I believe he will be itching to grab the opportunity to open in Tests. With Ajinkya Rahane and Hanuma Vihari settling in nicely, there is not much left to play around in the middle order.”
