Venkatesh Prasad slams selectors for persisting with KL Rahul as Test opener

Op India  

Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad lashed out at the Indian team management for persisting with KL Rahul to partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the innings and stated that the batter’s inclusion costs other talented batters a place in the national side. He was dismissed for 17 runs in India’s first innings in the second Test, taking his run tally to 37 runs in the two innings of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Shikhar had a test average of 40 plus, Mayank averages more than 41 with two double hundreds, Shubhman Gill is in sublime form and Sarfaraz’s never-ending wait. A 114-run partnership bailed India out of trouble in the first innings of the second Test match being played here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi with the team conceding just one run lead to Australia.
