KL Rahul Test selection is based on favouritism: Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad

Firstpost  

KL Rahul was picked ahead of the in-form Shubhman Gill as he continued his woeful form scoring just 20 runs off 71 deliveries in India’s 400 all out in the first innings. Mumbai: KL Rahul came in for harsh criticism from former India medium pacer Venkatesh Prasad who claimed the opener’s selection was based on “favouritsm’ even as India demolished Australia by an innings and 132 runs inside three days in Nagpur on Saturday. Often well wishers are your best critics but times have changed & people don’t want to be told truth — Venkatesh Prasad February 11, 2023 Rahul is also the captain of Indian Premier League side Lucknow Super Giants and the former India bowling coach claimed that it had a role to play in his extended stay in the Test side despite a string of below-par performances. “One of the reasons why many ex-cricketers aren’t vocal despite seeing such favouritism is the chances of losing out on potential IPL gigs,” Prasad wrote in a series of tweets. Without mincing words, he further hit out at the BCCI: “They wouldn’t want to rub the captain of a franchise wrong way, as in today’s age most people like yes men and blind approvers.” “Often well wishers are your best critics but times have changed & people don’t want to be told the truth,” added Prasad, a veteran of 33 Tests and 161 ODIs.
