Rahul will be out if he does not score runs

InsideSports quoted a source in the Indian team management as saying, “There is tremendous pressure on KL Rahul. There is no doubt that he is a talented player. But there has been no consistency in his performance. The patience of the selectors is breaking with him. Although he has the support of the team management, but if he does not score runs in the current series against Sri Lanka, then everything can change. If we look at the performance of KL Rahul, there has been no consistency in his performance in any format during the last 12 to 18 months. Therefore, if he does not score runs in the second match, then it is certain that he will go out.
