Indian Team Putting Their Weight Behind KL Rahul; Pressure On Him To Get Runs, Says Aakash Chopra
With Shubman Gill: In the run-up to India’s second Test against New Zealand at Pune, former opener Aakash Chopra believes despite the hosts’ backing KL Rahul to come good, the pressure is undoubtedly on him to get runs.
Questions have risen over Rahul’s place in the Indian team due to his indifferent run. Though he made a firm 68 in the second Test against Bangladesh at Kanpur, Rahul couldn’t make an impact in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand – making scores of zero and 12.
With Shubman Gill, who missed the first Test because of neck stiffness, set to return in Pune, and Sarfaraz Khan making 150 – his maiden Test century in Bengaluru, Rahul is under pressure to hold on to his spot in the eleven. But Chopra sees him playing the Pune Test.
