New Delhi: Former Team India cricketer and popularly known as Little Master, Sunil Gavaskar is not happy with the constant criticism of KL Rahul. Team India's opening batsman and vice-captain KL Rahul did not show anything special even during the Asia Cup 2022 and in the T20 International series of three matches against Australia, after hitting fifty in the first match, two innings failed. Gavaskar is not at all worried about Rahul's form, rather he has praised the opener.

Gavaskar has said on Star Sports that, 'Rahul was doing what the team wanted him to do. In the first match, you saw him hitting a fifty. The second match was just eight overs and you didn't have time to set up. He attempted a shot with the very first ball and lost the wicket. He sacrificed his wicket for the team.'
In a rain-hit match in Nagpur, Rahul scored 10 runs off 6 balls. At the same time, in the deciding match, he went on scoring one run off four balls. Gavaskar said 'Similarly, the required run rate in the last match was above 9. It's not easy and you need a good start. There too he sacrificed his wicket. Rahul averaged 22 in the three-match T20I series.'
