"Ex-Cricketers Write Essays On KL Rahul...": Reputed Pundit Slams Critics, Hails India Star

KL Rahul has been a polarizing person in Indian cricket, who has divided opinion among former cricketers, experts and fans. Be it for his strike rate in T20 cricket or for his knock in the 2023 ODI World Cup final or whether he deserves a place in India's Test side, question marks have always hovered over Rahul. But Rahul stood tall amidst India's batting struggles in the ongoing third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, making a brilliant 84 in Brisbane. Former India cricketer-turned-pundit Aakash Chopra has now hit back at other ex-India players who have criticised Rahul in the past.

Former India opener turned cricket pundit Aakash Chopra has called out the selection process of Team India in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

India captain Rohit Sharma has some tough questions to answer after the team's defeat in the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide.

However, Rohit's captaincy looked lackluster in the day-night Test, where India suffered a humbling 10-wicket defeat. As experts pose critical questions in front of Rohit, former India batter Aakash Chopra remains baffled by the captain's usage of marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the game.

On Friday, the ICC and all its stakeholders will convene virtually for an important meeting to discuss the 2025 Champions Trophy dates and venue. By now, those aspects should have been finalised, but the BCCI's reluctance to send the Indian cricket team to Pakistan, the designated hosts, and the Pakistan Cricket Board's refusal to accept a hybrid model of hosting have complicated matters.

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has opened up on the debate surrounding Rishabh Pant entering the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction.

There has been a lot of discussion regarding Mohammed Shami's potential return to international cricket during the upcoming Test series against Australia. Shami underwent knee surgery just after the 2023 ODI World Cup and he finally returned to domestic cricket during the Ranji Trophy match between Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. The fast bowler ended up taking four wickets on his return and his performance resulted in several fans as well as experts asking for his selection for the Test series.
