π¨Vikrant Gupta on Kl Rahul Vs Rishabh Pant in Test Cricket π¨
"In test cricket, is kl Rahul really a match winner? Has he played many truly great knock? In 10 years test career, I can only recall 3-4 brilliant innings.
- Rishabh pant has won numbers test matches almost single handedly & has played many exceptional innings under pressure in Home & Sena countries.

the guy in the middle is a generational talent , unfortunately the personal tragedies like losing his father and coach very early in his professional career restricted the pace of his growth ,also the accident and frequent injuries on field and lost time snatched a lot from him .
Before the Test match all coaches were against Rishabh Pant and even head coach gave indirect warning in the press conference. There was pressure on Rishabh Pant to score runs and he delivered not a big innings, but a decent knock.
Great inning with current skill set, honestly i donβt expect much from pant on roads because he doesnβt have too many boundary hitting shots and he doesnβt have patience to play slower than this
All in all needs to improve that white ball game which will directly help here
Sample size :-
SENA
Rahul 26 tests Avg 36.8 (8 in A,13 in E ,5 in SA)
Rohit 9 tests Avg 35.5
Away from home
Rahul 38/ 68 Avg 36.26
Rohit 11/ 67 Avg 42(240 in 2 vs WI )
Remove WI and his avg will be 35.56
KL has Played > 60% of matches away ....out of that > 70% at SENA ππ
Avg at home in test
Rohit - 51
KL Rahul - 42
Avg as a opener in overseas test
Rohit - 42
KL Rahul - 36
Avg as a opener in SENA
KL Rahul - 36
Rohit - 35
I still don't understand how people rate Rahul above than Rohit. Rohit's opener version mogs every versions of KL Rahul.
Funny how Indian selectors are brutal enough to drop Suryakumar Yadav after winning a world cup
But KL Rahul keeps playing test cricket with an average of 35
Incredible
