'Rahul bhai humko aisa mauka do...' - Fans troll KL Rahul for praising Ben Stokes through Instagram post after his valiant effort in second Ashes Test

What a thrilling end to one of the most competitive Test matches one can ever come across. Throughout the course of the day, the second Ashes 2023 Test swung like a pendulum with sometimes England on top and sometimes Australia on top. Despite all the talks around Australia’s win and also the manner in which Jonny Bairstow was dismissed, one aspect of the game which everyone was impressed with was the innings which Ben Stokes played on the final day at the Lord’s Cricket Ground of the second Test of the Ashes series.

The way in which Ben Stokes showed his fighting spirit and took the game from a one-sided affair to a stage where England could believe that they can win was seriously commendable. Certainly, this kind of fightback is nothing new for someone like Stokes as the England skipper has done it on multiple occasions previously. This terrific effort from Ben Stokes saw him score 155 runs off 214 deliveries with nine boundaries as well as nine mighty sixes.

After this valiant effort from Stokes, many former cricketers have been heaping praises on the 32 years old for his innings and also the character that he showed knowing the situation in which the team was in. Commenting on this terrific effort, the star Indian opener, KL Rahul put a status of Ben Stokes with a comment that read “ Legend “.

Here is how Twitter reacted to this Rahul’s post:

Legend he is really.. Ben stokes > England

Just because he needs a sympathy from Ben stoles, he would never be able to play an innings like that, cowards can only appreciate the fighters but can't fight a battle on their own, KL Rahul is a coward and will remain, Mark my words.

Who remembers KL RAHUL's knock of 149 in England in the 4th innings but just like today that knock was also In losing cause. Today Ben Stoke's knock of 155 came in losing cause.

When KL came to bat india was 4/3 and he played an innings of 149 runs 🫡

Meanwhile, As per a report published on IndiaTVnews, Rahul is eyeing a return to the Asia Cup, which is believed to be played in the month of September. It is going to be a crucial tournament for the Indian team considering the World Cup which is ready to be followed up next in line. Also, with Rishabh Pant out of the action and will be missing the World Cup 2023, the 31-year-old becomes an essential cog as he can fit into the Indian team as a wicketkeeper batter.
