Indian vice-captain KL Rahul was criticized for his recent comments over Australia’s David Warner’s injury. Southpaw David Warner picked up a groin injury during Australia’s second ODI against India on Sunday. David Warner walked out of the ground in the second-innings and the opener has been ruled out for the 3rd ODI as well as the T20Is series. Left-handed Australian D’Arcy Short has replaced Warner for the T20i series.
Indian wicket-keeper KL Rahul has now found himself on the receiving end of a social-media outbreak after he passed on some “insensitive” comments while citing David Warner’s injury. KXIP’s skipper KL Rahul, in a post-match interview, said that it will be better for team India if Warner stays out of the pitch for a long tenure.
Netizens Thrash KL Rahul For His Comments
“We don’t know how bad his injury is. It would be nicer if he gets injured for a long time. One of their main batsmen. It is not nice to wish it for anyone but it would be good for the team. If his injury takes a long time, it would be good for our team,” Rahul had said in the virtual press-conferences after the second ODI.

Nevertheless, Twitteratis were not happy with KL Rahul’s mockery about Warner’s injury as they confronted the right-handed batsmen on social-media.
Netizens React To KL Rahul’s Comments
This fellow didn’t learn anything after koffee incident. Should never attend any kind of conference, anything related to answering questions in a camera.

KL has this huge on camera shyness. Probably a poor choice of picking the right words. At least rehearse something bro. This ain’t right…
An apology on Twitter might heal the issue a bit…— The Red Cherry 🏏🎙️ (@Redcherrytweets) November 29, 2020
