KL Rahul for India (Image Source: Twitter)
After winning the first game of the 20-20 World Cup 2022 against Pakistan on 23 October, India took on the Netherlands in Sydney on 27 October. The Men in Blue were coming off that massive victory over the arch-rivals. On the other hand, the Dutch came off after a loss against Bangladesh. So, both teams were looking for a win to strengthen their position within the group over other teams.
Speaking of the match, Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first. So, KL Rahul and skipper Rohit came out to open the innings. KL Rahul had a bad start to this tournament as he failed to score against the Men in Green.
KL Rahul scored just nine runs off 12 balls against the Netherlands in the 20-20 World Cup 2022
Rahul just scored four runs off eight balls in the first match. India were chasing a target of 160 runs in 20 overs as he failed to give a good start to the team. So, fans were not happy with his form. Even, ahead of this clash, some fans raised their opinions to sit him out of the team. But, Rohit Sharma showed faith on him and he got selected for the final playing XI. But, again he failed to score big against the Dutch.
KL Rahul scored just nine runs off 12 balls including only one four. Every fan was hoping for a better show from this batter as Rahul has a great record against teams like the Netherlands. But, his form remained a concern still for the team India management going forward to this ongoing tournament. He last scored a fifty against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022. In the same match, Virat also scored a hundred while opening the innings alongside him. But, seeing such a failure again in the World Cup, fans were angry. They started to share their opinions on social media platforms.
Here is how fans have reacted to the performance of KL Rahul against the Dutch in the 20-20 World Cup 2022:

KL Rahul, if you are true to your game, you would sit out and give someone else a chance to play. Please. I guess you need to think this over. #INDvsNED #T20WorldCup #KLRahul𓃵
