India's stand-in captain KL Rahul who lead the Indian team in the absence of Rohit Sharma became the talk of the town after his continuous poor show in the longest format of the game in the recently conculded two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Even though India won both Test matches, India skipper's poor show where he could only score 57 runs in four innings. He averaged 14.25 in the series.

KL Rahul has been given more than decent number of chances to cement his squad, but he has failed to make a consistent impact. He has talent but team needs runs.

He should go back to domestic cricket and grind it out to earn his place back. #Cricket pic.twitter.com/r9GsmG5yBv

How almost 31 years old KL Rahul is the future of indian team? Average 35 after 44 tests. Even Ravindra jadeja's test average is better than him.

Shikhar and mayank's average is better than him but they are out of the team. And Rahul is captain. Pathetic from BCCI#INDvBAN pic.twitter.com/6nkp2oUB2N

I think we have a solid contender for the test captain. I don't trust KL Rahul, Pant should vc. Jasprit is another contender for captaincy imo. __ pic.twitter.com/7BflLeEtMo

Shreyas Iyer looking confident in defence. Ashwin is a fighter. India will get there. But way too many questions which require answers.
First things first KL Rahul wasn't, isn't and won't be your long term India captain. You don't know who it is but not KL. Certainly not#INDvBAN

I think KL Rahul need to go to basics, play some Ranji matches with Red ball and regain his confidence.

His pathetic form continue even in Bangladesh. BCCI need to step in, otherwise team will continue to suffer bcoz of poor opening every time. #INDvsBAN #Pujara #axarpatel pic.twitter.com/bzYNMtbEzC

Rahul managed to score only 22, 23, 10, and 2 in the four innings of the two Tests against Bangladesh. Notably, the Indian opener has scored only 137 runs in four Test matches in 2022, at an average of 17.13.

"KL Rahul has to go without a doubt, in my opinion. He had a pretty ordinary series as a batsman. If Rohit Sharma comes in, KL has to make a way," Jaffer said while speaking on ESPNCricinfo.

Jaffer also questioned KL Rahul and Shubman Gill's defensive strategy while chasing a small target of 145, saying that the top-order batters allowed the spinners from Bangladesh to dominate in the fourth innings.

Bangladesh were on their way to their first-ever Test victory against India when Shreyas Iyer (29 not out off 46 balls) and Ravichandran Ashwin (42 not out off 62 balls) thwarted them with an unbeaten 71-run stand on 105 balls.
