"No Intent, No Runs": KL Rahul Brutally Trolled After Failure In Duleep Trophy
As fight for places in the Indian Test cricket team gets heated, ahead of the two-match series against Bangladesh, star batter KL Rahul's recent form has raised a few eyebrows. Rahul, who is playing for the Shubman Gill-led India A in the Duleep Trophy, scored 37 of 111 balls before being dismissed by India B star Washington Sundar on Day 3. Rahul's clumsy knock raised a few eyebrows, with fans taking to social media to troll the star batter.
The squad for the Bangladesh Test series is likely to be announced after the first round of matches in Duleep Trophy. However, Rahul didn't do himself any favours and had to face the wrath of the fans.
Here's how internet reacted:

If you want someone to discourage themselves from watching cricket, tell them to watch KL Rahul batting. I bet you will go in depression. pic.twitter.com/pv1tqcVIm8

Choked
At what point do we stop labeling it as "Bad luck" and actually blame him for his failures????
Rahul was the top-scorer for India A as they were bowled out for 231 in the first innings on Saturday. They trailed India B by 90 runs.
On Day 2, Navdeep Saini reminded of his presence among the fringe pacers with a quality new ball spell that helped India B to keep India A in check at 134 for two in the first innings.
India B needed their bowlers to carry on the excellent effort of Musheer Khan (181, 373b, 16x4, 5x6) that powered 'B' to 321 in their first
