KL Rahul will play under any circumstances! Gautam Gambhir supported the star wicketkeeper batsman

Delhi: Indian cricket team's head coach Gautam Gambhir has supported star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul who is in poor form. He said that the opinion of the team management is more important than the criticism going on on social media. Rahul's bat did not work in the first Test match played against New Zealand in Bengaluru, due to which he had to face criticism. Rahul could not even open his account in the first innings, while in the second innings he scored only 12 runs.

KL Rahul has the ability to score big – Gambhir

Gambhir said, “I am sure Rahul knows that he has to score big and he has the ability to do so, so he has the support of the team. Everyone judges and that's what international cricket is all about.”

Gambhir said, “Cricket is such a game. If we have enjoyed days like Kanpur, we will have to endure what happened in Bengaluru also. We showed no intention of batting for the remaining two and a half days.”
