IND vs AUS: Dinesh Karthik backs Gill to play remaining Tests, feels KL Rahul will make a comeback soon

Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik empathised with KL Rahul who is currently going through a dry spell in terms of runs, stating that he himself has experienced a lot of bad days throughout his career as well.

The 37-year-old feels that KL Rahul will definitely come back stronger but might need some time away from the game.

Karthik said that he too has had days where he went to the washroom to shed a tear or two.

"This is a professional world, you've got to deal with those sorrowful moments but as a player when I look at what he has gone through. When you get out that way knowing very well this could have been your last innings. It has happened to me when you go into the dressing room, quietly walk into the toilet, and shed a tear or two. It's not a nice feeling because there's not much you can do," Karthik said.

The 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batter also said that Shubman Gill should open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma in Indore and Ahmedabad.

Rahul, who has scored a total of 38 runs in the first two Tests, has also been removed as Rohit Sharma's deputy for the final two matches.
