Senior Indian opener KL Rahul is under the scanner as he is enduring a poor run of form with the bat for a long time. He isn’t living up to the expectations even before the Asia Cup 2022. The Karnataka batter also failed in the 20-20 World Cup 2022. He could bat well in the 20-20 World Cup only against lower-ranked teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
Now, KL Rahul is also struggling with the bat in Test cricket as well. He has scored only 95 runs in the last seven innings of the four Tests he played so far; including the two-match Test series against Bangladesh and the recently-concluded two Tests against Australia in Nagpur and Delhi respectively.
Subsequently, he has also been removed from the vice-captaincy of Team India when the management picked the squad of India for the remaining two Tests against Australia. Subsequently, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has come up with a recent statement on the removal of KL Rahul from vice-captaincy.
"KL Rahul being removed as the Vice Captain doesn't indicate anything,” said Rohit Sharma ahead of the third Test in Indore against Australia.
Following this statement from the skipper, the fans couldn’t resist reacting to it; they took to Twitter to come up with some hilarious and interesting reactions. A few of the fans also felt that Rohit is hiding something and that there was something brewing within the management.
Here’s how fans reacted:

I'm sure it does indicate that he isn't the Vice Captain anymore.

Now, KL Rahul could be in action with the Indian team in the third of the four-match Test series against Australia. Both teams will play this match at the Holkar Stadium in Indore from tomorrow, Wednesday, the 1st of March.
Currently, the hosts are leading the series by a margin of 2-0 with two massive and straight wins in the first and second Test in Nagpur and Delhi respectively. Rohit Sharma’s men won the Nagpur Test by an innings and 132 runs followed by a six-wicket in the Delhi Test.
