IND vs BAN 2nd Test: 'Never seen such biasness' - Fans brutally troll KL Rahul as struggles continue

KL Rahul has been leading Team India in skipper Rohit Sharma's absence but the 29-year-old's inclusion in the side was questioned by fans after his struggles with the bat continued in the 2nd Test against Bangladesh. 

Rahul could only score 10 runs in the first innings for India, as the visitors were reduced to 86/3 by Lunch on Day 2, and fans were unhappy with the Indian opener's continued struggles. 

Fans on Twitter debated Rahul's inclusion in the Indian team and many others shared hilarious memes, as they mocked the right-handed wicketkeeper-batsman.

Needing 227 runs to go past Bangladesh's score in the first innings, India lost three wickets in the first session on Day 2 itself, with the Indian skipper falling first.

How long will @BCCI persist with @klrahul ? or having Rahul as the name guarantees you a spot on this country? @JayShah @ImRo45 What about the likes of @PrithviShaw or even @ajinkyarahane88 ? Why not such a long rope to them? instead you reward this guy as captain? #INDvBAN

Rahul has had a mixed 2022, he missed plenty of matches early on due to injuries, came back before IPL and finished among the highest run-scorers. He still continued to struggle afterwards while representing India, and has scored a couple of good knocks, but has been marred by inconsistency. 

Apart from the Indian skipper, Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara also fell cheaply on Day 2, with Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant trying to rebuild for the Indian side.
