KL Rahul

Star Indian opener and vice-captain KL Rahul is enduring a poor run of form with the bat for a long time. The Karnataka batter has continuously failed to live up to the expectations since the Asia Cup 2022. He also failed to deliver with the bat in the all-important 20-20 World Cup 2022.

Meanwhile, former Indian speedster Venkatesh Prasad and former Indian batter Aakash Chopra have come against each other in a debate on KL Rahul’s form.

Here’s a look at what happened between Venkatesh Prasad and Aakash Chopra while discussing KL Rahul

“I have no agenda against any player, maybe there are others who have. Difference of opinion is fine but calling contrary views as apna personal agenda and Twitter par mat laayein is funny for Aakash Chopra, considering he has made a great career by airing his views,” wrote Venkatesh Prasad in his tweet.

“Venky bhai, msgs are getting lost in translation. You here. Me on YT. I invite you to come on a Video Chat…we can do it Live. The difference in opinions is nice… Let's do it properly 😊I’ll not have any sponsors on it & nobody will make money out of it. Up for it? You have my number,” replied Aakash Chopra to Venkatesh Prasad’s tweet.

Although, this verbal spat between Aakash Chopra and the World Cup 1996 semi-finalist has also drawn a lot of reactions on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Amidst all this, a video is also making rounds on social media in which the former Delhi opener is having a conversation with veteran Bollywood actor and KL Rahul’s father-in-law Suniel Shetty. The 45-year-old has used the term ‘father-like figure’ for Shetty.

Here's the video:

As the video went viral over social media within minutes of being shared by a Twitter user followed by a like from Venkatesh Prasad himself; the fans started trolling Aakash Chopra for being blatantly biased while assessing the performance of KL Rahul. Fans took to Twitter to call out Aakash Chopra and make an agenda-driven analysis.
