Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir said it is unfair to single out KL Rahul for scathing criticism as every player goes through lean phases in their respective career.
With clamour growing for Shubman Gill to replace Rahul for the third Test in Indore, Gambhir said that "Rahul should not be dropped from the Indian side."
Speaking to PTI on the sidelines of Lucknow Super Giants' pre-season camp ahead of IPL 2023, Gambhir stated that "no one, no cricket pundit or anyone should tell Rahul that he is not doing well and be dropped."
Citing Rohit Sharma's example, Gambhir said it's important to back talented players and like Rohit, Rahul can also find a late flourish.
