"These things are a blessing in disguise at times" - Gautam Gambhir's positive message to KL Rahul after he was dropped from Indian Test playing XI
Gautam Gambhir recently opened up that every cricketer experiences ups and downs in his career and urged KL Rahul to come back stronger after the setback. After repeated failures over the last two years, KL Rahul was sacked as vice-captain of the Test team and was subsequently dropped from the playing XI for the 3rd and 4th Tests against Australia.
Speaking to Sports Tak on KL Rahul's Test team snub, Gambhir said:
"Every player has to go through such phases. Tell me one player who has scored runs consistently throughout his career. These things are a blessing in disguise at times. It should hurt you when you watch someone else play in your place, or when you have to carry drinks. But he is the captain of a franchise, and there's no need for him to prove anything to anyone."
He added:
"He has scored four or five hundreds in the IPL. But if he isn't in the T20 team or in the Test playing XI, he can try to reinvent himself and bat the way his team and country expect him to."
