One chance to wear that jersey again. One chance 🙏 INDIA NEEDS KL RAHUL,” a fan wrote.”He Deserves One Last Chance In T20i! INDIA NEEDS KL RAHUL” another posted. “If still he didn’t been selected for T20i then it will the downfall for the team so kindly include.

However, BCCI has a tough decision to make as a line of skilled contenders, including big names such as Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, for the Number. 3 and 4 position wait for the call.
