Akash Chopra-Venkatesh Prasad:Indian team’s star wicket-keeper batsman KL Rahul is struggling with his poor form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Runs are not coming from his bat, yet he remains in the playing eleven. A lot of talk is happening in the cricket world about this. Many experts and former cricketers are talking about getting him out of the team, out of which former bowler Venkatesh Prasad is constantly tweeting demanding to get him out of the team. With Venkatesh criticizing KL on the one hand and Aakash Chopra supporting him on the other, the Twitter war between the two legends is witnessing new twists and turns everyday.
this is the whole matter
In fact, after the selection despite poor performance in the Test against Australia, former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad had said that KL Rahul was not selected on the basis of performance but on the basis of favoritism, after which his tweet about KL Rahul went viral. Have become. He shared the figures of Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal after the second Test was over. It was then that commentator Aakash Chopra came to Rahul’s rescue and a video ended with Chopra urging Prasad to keep calm and not pedal the ‘agenda’.
Indian batters in SENA countries. May be, this is the reason selectors/coach/captain are backing KLR. He’s played 2 Tests at home (ongoing BGT) during this period
No, I don’t need a BCCI role as a selector/coach
I don’t need any mentor, coaching role at any IPL team either 🙏 pic.twitter.com/qV6qo6Plvt— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) February 21, 2023
So my friend Aakash Chopra after making a vile video on YouTube this morning where he calls me an agenda peddle, conveniently and cleverly misquotes me, removes Mayank’s average of 70 at home, wants to gag views which are not in line with what he believes but wanted Rohit out pic.twitter.com/2HwFLMgvmd

No Aakash, nothing is lost in translation. In your 12 minute video you have called me as an agenda peddler because it didn’t suit your narrative.
