BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad stated that Rahul is a talented cricketer but because of his poor form in red-ball cricket, he has been dropped for the upcoming Test series beginning October 2.

Rohit Sharma benefits from KL Rahul's loss, and both now find themselves at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Bengal opener Abhimanyu Easwaran, a prolific performer at the domestic and India A games, could be rewarded with a place in the side as a reserve opener, if the selection committee decides to drop Rahul.

Rohit Sharma, who sat out in both the Test matches in the recently-concluded tour to West Indies, may now be considered for an opening role in the longest format of the game.

Sourav Ganguly had said earlier that Rohit is too good a player to sit on the bench and with Rahul struggling, India should look at Rohit to find a solution at the top of the order.

KL Rahul's place in the team has been questioned due to his failure to own the opening slot despite being given a long rope by the team management.

Sourav Ganguly felt that fixing the problem with the opening slot is the need of the hour for India in longest format of the game.

Athiya Shetty has long been linked up with Indian cricketer KL Rahul, though none of them have openly addressed the rumours.

KL Rahul on Tuesday shared a picture on social media in which he can be seen enjoying along with skipper Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal and Ravichandran Ashwin.

Indian opener KL Rahul made promising starts in both the innings of the first Test against West Indies but failed to prolong his time at the crease. However, he remains optimistic about his batting.

Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul are the only two openers India have selected in their squad for the two-match Test series against West Indies.

Indian batsman KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya were involved in a controversy during the beginning of the year for their comments on Karan Johar's show, and the former has now broken his silence on what transpired in his life after the show was aired.

If he plays in the first T20I against West Indies today, KL Rahul will have a chance to create a world record, surpassing the likes of Pakistan's Babar Azam, and Indian captain Virat Kohli.

The Indian batsman, who was drafted into the opening slot to replace the injured Shikhar Dhawan, hit his fifth ODI century and first of the tournament in the game against Sri Lanka at Leeds.

Tossed into a world of horror which nearly cost them their place, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have made a comeback to the team as they now look stronger and better than ever.

KL Rahul, who himself played a fine knock against Bangladesh on Tuesday, said that trying to emulate Rohit Sharma is foolish because the Mumbaikar is in a different class altogether.

Sanjay Manjrekar feels it's time for KL Rahul to convert those starts and do justice to his potential.

Before Athiya Shetty, rumours of cricketer KL Rahul dating Jannat actress Sonal Chauhan have also popped up.

In the three innings he has played as an opener, Rahul scored 57, 30 and 48 at a significantly slower strike rate.

KL Rahul attempted a reverse-sweep and was caught off a top-edge, and Twitter lashed out at the opener for the irresponsible shot.
