Vijay is currently playing in Legends League cricket. Meanwhile, he talked about the superstars of the Indian team. Vijay says that Shubman Gillu and Prithvi Shah are also better in terms of talent. His words… “I think everyone who plays for India is a superstar. But if talent is measured, Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shah are the best players. But only the team management can tell why Prithvi was not included in the team. Rishabh Pant has also done well for India. May he return soon. Shreyas Iyer is also doing well,” said Murali Vijay.
Vijay also talked about KL Rahul’s poor form. “Rahul knows very well what needs to be done to get back into form. Better to let him go. Rahul is not a star who should be subjected to such ridicule. Every cricketer has a bad season like this. I believe he will come back strong,” said the former Indian player.
