"Down On Confidence...": Ex-India Star's Brutal Verdict On KL Rahul As Opener Against Australia
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that right-hand batter KL Rahul is not the ideal option for India's opening slot in the first Test of the upcoming five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia as he doesn't have a lot of confidence in himself at the moment. The first Test of the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played at Perth's Optus Stadium from November 22 onwards. "It's not like KL Rahul as an opening option is setting the stage on fire. Going by the reality, KL Rahul currently you can see, you've got to feel for him, I love him as a player the kind of talent he has. He looks a bit down on confidence and you don't want someone like him batting at the top of the order because much of the tempo of the innings is set at the start number 1,2 and 3," Manjrekar was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
