Once Critical Of KL Rahul, Venkatesh Prasad Is Now 'Secretly Praying' For India Star With Suniel Shetty

Venkatesh Prasad, former Indian cricket team pacer, triggered a strom a few months ago when he criticised KL Rahul for his poor form.

His inclusion is deliberately denying talented guys, in form guys an opportunity to be in the 11," Prasad tweeted.
