The curious case of KL Rahul: Team think tank using twin tons in defence of his continuous selections

 

New Delhi: KL Rahul’s continuation in the Test team, despite his repeated failures, is proving to be one of the most curious cases in Indian cricket.

Not many have survived the kind of failures that the man from Bengaluru has endured. Fewer have received such unwavering support from the who’s who of Indian cricket, making for a fascinating watch.

So why is he being persisted with? Talent or favouritism? a match winner or a liability? There are varied opinions, but for the men who matter, he is precious.
