Indian cricketer KL Rahul has recently posted a chilling picture of him on his official social media accounts. While he is currently struggling to stay in the national team, the Indian fans trolled him for that chilling post.

KL Rahul is known as a very talented and hard-working batsman. The right-handed batsman performs well in limited-overs cricket but he is struggling to perform well in Test cricket for a long time.

In the last two seasons, he was performing very consistently in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rahul finished among the top three run-scorers in the last two IPL seasons. But his performances in international cricket are totally different.

KL Rahul’s limited-overs performances are much better. He was in good touch in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 as he scored 361 runs in nine innings with an average of 45.12. The right-handed batsman hit two centuries and one half-century in that tournament. Also, he is the no.7-ranked T20I batsman at present.

But his poor Test form is affecting his limited-overs performances too. He still needs to show his consistency in limited-overs cricket.
