KL Rahul fell prey to the trolls after the video of Sachin Tendulkar
In this video of 35 seconds, Tendulkar could have been seen displaying a variety of shots that reminded fans about the era when he used to destroy the mighty bowling attacks in world cricket. Fans went on to applaud and appreciate the 49-year-old and also said that he is still fit to make it again to the Indian team.
Whereas some other fans who are frustrated by the poor run of form of KL Rahul in major international games said that the former batter looks in better form than KL and he should open the innings with Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup which is to be played next year.
Here’s how Twitter reacted :

KL Rahul has recently made a comeback to international cricket after a long break due to his injury of a sports hernia. But he couldn’t have a good outing in the T20 international cricket and failed to score any run against the arch-rivals Pakistan in India’s first match of the Asia Cup 2022.
Earlier, India tried a lot of options in the opening when KL Rahul was not there to open the innings.
