Indian batsman KL Rahul yet again failed to shine with the willow in the ongoing two-match Test series against the West Indies and was once again targeted by the fans after being dismissed for 4 runs in 25 balls in the second and final Test on Saturday (October 13) in Hyderabad.
In the victorious first Test in Rajkot, the right-hander got out for a duck and even had a mix Test series in England last month, despite all this; he has offered another opportunity to grab the eyeballs with the willow in the second and final Test against the Windies.
He has been named in the ODI squad despite a lot of debate on the playing XI for the Hyderabad Test, but the 26-year-old failed to grab his chance with open arms, dismissing at 0 and 4 in both Tests.
However, the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) is not willing to ignore the Karnataka man even he is badly struggling to hit the bowlers even at home, and has some technical flaws in his batting, as the BCCI is continually picking him by ignoring many talented domestic stars like Mayank Agrawal and Karun Nair.
And that’s the reason Rahul and the national selectors along with the Board was once again roasted by the Indian cricket fans on the social media after his continuous poor show with the bat in the whites.
Check out here some Twitter reactions:
If God gives you Rahul, make it Rahul Dravid not KL Rahul

Its clear that KL Rahul is having some technical issues in his batting. What is Sanjay Bangar doing? Just giving throw downs ? #INDvWI
