KL Rahul's batting brilliance silences critics

Yogini

Over the years, KL Rahul, the prominent Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, has become a subject of diverse opinions regarding his cricketing prowess. While he has rightfully earned praise for stellar performances, he has unfortunately faced unwarranted criticism and trolling during less successful days, especially on social media. In the current Test match against South Africa in Centurion, Rahul responded emphatically to his detractors by delivering a sensational century. Rather than engaging in a verbal exchange with his critics, Rahul adheres to the philosophy of letting his bat eloquently convey his prowess on the cricket field. His ability to silence the naysayers through remarkable performances exemplifies his resilience and dedication to the sport.

Fame has its pros and cons. If this team had clinched the World Cup, they would have been revered like gods, attracting lucrative endorsements and more. That's the reality.

To be honest, this is primarily an issue with Indian fans and has existed long before the advent of social media. It stems from cricket being revered as a religion, coupled with increasing expectations and a demand for being taken seriously on the world stage.

The difference now is that anyone can easily, conveniently, and completely anonymously send vitriol to players and their families. Until we actually hold these individuals accountable, even through social media, nothing will change.

I think he's very brave to speak up about this. Players are always subjected to criticism whenever there's a loss, and it's really too harsh on them.

People should also stop hurling abuse and attacks, disguising these hurtful remarks as opinions. You don't know how it feels to be a player under such immense pressure, and the impact of any game loss on you isn't any less significant than it is on them.

But this seems unavoidable; a significant portion of Rahul's income comes from maintaining a high public profile, so some sacrifices may still need to be made.
