Has captained only in IPL
KL Rahul has the experience of only 2 IPL seasons under the captaincy. He has captained Punjab Kings in two seasons of IPL. Before that, he was once captained in a first-class match. Recently, when Virat Kohli was injured in the second Test on the tour of South Africa, Rahul took over the responsibility.
But apart from these occasions, he has never become a captain. Be it junior cricket or senior cricket. The three ODI series against South Africa will be his big series as captain. But in this, they will play without experience.
The record in captaincy is very bad.
If we look at the captaincy figures of KL Rahul, then his record has been quite simple so far. IPL 2020 and 2021 without any experience, under his captaincy, the team of Punjab Kings was ranked sixth among eight teams every time. IPL both seasons, the team won six matches each and lost eight each.
In the second Test match played against South Africa, in the absence of Virat Kohli, he got a chance to captain the team. Team India had to face defeat in that match too. As a captain, he was unable to motivate the players or formulate a new strategy.
