Karthik pointed out that despite playing more than 40 Tests, Rahul only averaged in the mid-30s. This is the lowest in Indian Test cricket. Karthik said this figure is not acceptable for an opener. The wicket-keeper batter also stated that this is the lowest average among Indian players who have played at least 35 Test matches.

India’s next Test matches are the home series against Australia from February 3. Karthik feels that Rahul will not be able to score centuries in this series. Moreover, it is predicted that young player Shubman Gill may make way for India XI regularly. To secure his place in the Test team, he needs to score two centuries against Australia. Otherwise, you can definitely see a change in the team. Karthik added that Shubman Gill is performing well.
