Jay Shah: There are many such players in the Indian cricket team, who remain in the team continuously and are given opportunities because they are someone's favourite. In this episode, there is also a player who is the favourite of Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Let us tell you that we have seen many such players who keep flopping continuously but even after this they keep getting a chance. However, there is one player who, because of Jay Shah being a favorite, captain Rohit Sharma is not able to drop him from the playing eleven.

This player is Jay Shah's favorite

Actually, the player we are talking about here is none other than wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul. Rahul is such a player who has been continuously failing but even after this he has been given a chance.

Nothing can be said as to why KL Rahul is given so many chances, but it seems that Jay Shah likes him and that is why he keeps getting chances in Team India. This may be the reason why captain Rohit cannot drop Rahul from the playing eleven and has to give him a chance.

Rahul flopped on Sri Lanka tour

Rahul always takes pressure in big matches and this is why questions are raised on his performance. Recently, Team India toured Sri Lanka and Rahul was included in the ODI team on this tour. However, he flopped here too and due to this he was kept out in the third match.

Rahul played two matches in this series, in which he scored 31 runs in the first match while he got out on zero in the second match. Seeing such a bad performance, the captain showed courage and Rohit showed Rahul the way out of the final eleven of the third match and gave Rishabh Pant a chance in his place.

Rahul has been a flop in Test cricket too

If we look at Rahul's career, he has performed well in only one format for Team India and that is ODI cricket. The wicketkeeper batsman has scored runs at an average of 49.16 in this format. Apart from this, he has already been dropped from the T20 team.

So far, he has played a total of 50 matches in Test cricket, in which Rahul has scored 2863 runs at an average of 34.8. During this, 8 centuries and 14 half-centuries have come from his bat. Despite this, he is not being dropped from the team.
