[India] - You have to back gamers who have skill: Gambhir on Rahul

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
NEW DELHI: With an average of a lowly 12.5 in the last 10 innings, where there hasnt been a single 25-plus rating, India Test opener KL
Rahul has actually been in the line of fire and has actually gotten scathing criticism from all around
After a series of low ratings his place in the playing XI has been in question however previous India opener Gautam Gambhir feels that Rahul
should be backed as every gamer goes through a lean patch
The 30-year-old has actually had scores of 8, 10, 12, 22, 23, 10, 2, 20, 17 and 1 in the last 10 Test innings however Gambhir, who is the
coach of IPL franchise LSG where Rahul is the captain, feels that it is unfair to single out the opener
There have been strong calls to induct Shubman Gill in playing XI in place of Rahul
KL Rahul ought to not be dropped from the Indian side
One need to not single out any player
Everyone goes through a lean spot
No one, no cricket expert or anybody need to inform him that he is refraining from doing well and be dropped, Gambhir told PTI throughout
an interaction on the sidelines of IPL pre-season camp organised by Lucknow Super Giants.The two-time IPL champion previous captain of KKR
also cited existing India captain Rohit Sharmas example of how he was backed to the hilt by the erstwhile group management so that he
succeeds in Test cricket
Once Rohit started opening, things looked up for him in conventional format
You have to back players who have talent
Look at Rohit Sharma
He likewise had a lean patch
Take a look at the method he started his career
He had a late flourish
Compared (earlier times) to how he is carrying out now
Everyone could see his skill and backed him
Now see the result
He is going terrific guns
Rahul can do the exact same, Gammbhir appeared confident of his abilities.The southpaw is of the opinion that if the team is winning
matches conveniently, there is no point in playing with winning combination and single out one gamer for severe treatment
India is 2-0 up and not 0-2 down
So lets not axe anybody and appreciate the groups performance
I believe the Indian team management is right in backing KL Rahul
He is a fantastic player
He had scored runs in worldwide cricket
On the Indian femaless groups semi-final encounter against Australia in ICC T20 World Cup, Gambhir said: I believe India has actually got
the skill to beat Australia
Clearly, Australia is a great team however I make sure the Indian womens team has the prospective to beat Australia
If you can play those 240 balls much better than Australia, then the team can beat them
While Indian females lost terribly to England in a group league match, Gambhir feels that they have corresponded enough
I think the Indian team has been extremely consistent the way they are playing this competition
Now the events should not matter
You know people will discuss the semi-final
ultimately it is not the event, it is the contest of the bat and ball, he added.On inaugural Womens Premier League (WPL), he said it was a
historic action taken by the BCCI
We keep discussing gender equality
What better than this to have gender equality and I make certain it is going to promote a lot of girls to begin playing cricket and I think
WPL can go a long method
