Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has become the latest to have his say on KL Rahul's place in Team India.

Speaking to PTI, the 50-year-old talked about Rahul's form and said that it is normal for any top-order batter to face criticism when they are not scoring runs.

He said, "Obviously you expect a lot more from a top-order batter playing for India because the standards set by others are so high."
