KL Rahul: The first test match in Bengaluru was disappointing for the Indian team. Team India had to face defeat by 8 wickets. KL Rahul has been the topic of discussion for India as he flopped in both the innings. M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is Rahul's home ground. Even after this he could not bat well. However, after this match, talks about KL Rahul's retirement from Tests intensified on social media. The reason for this is a video.
Debate broke out on social media regarding KL Rahul's retirement
In fact, the Indian team had to lose the match in the first session of the fifth day itself. When New Zealand players Will Young and Rachin Ravindra were shaking hands with the Indian players after winning the match, KL Rahul was seen touching the pitch. Within some time, this video of Rahul quickly went viral on social media. Now fans on social media are talking about KL Rahul's retirement from Test format. Many users are even claiming to have played Rahul's last test match. However, no such statement has come out from KL Rahul's side yet.

Poor performance of KL Rahul
In the first test match, KL Rahul flopped in both the innings. He did not open his account in the first innings, while in the second innings he could score only 12 runs. Earlier, in the Test series against Bangladesh, Rahul had scored 106 runs in 3 innings of 2 matches. Recently, Rahul could not bat in the 3-match ODI series played against Sri Lanka. He scored only 31 runs in 2 matches.
At the same time, it is almost certain that KL Rahul will be dropped from the second test match. Shubman Gill is expected to get a chance in his place. Gill had to sit out of the first Test match due to a neck strain. Sarfaraz Khan was given a chance in place of Gill. But now he has played a strong inning of 150 runs. In this respect, he has every hope of getting a chance in the second match, whereas the sword may hang on KL Rahul.
