  1. Wow such victim, much nervous. Maybe Rahul needs therapy session before reaching 90? Or perhaps a safe space at non-strikers end when he hit 89? The struggles are so real 🙄

  2. Feel bad for him honestly. The pressure must be immense when you stuck in 90s multiple time. But he is class player, will definitely break this pattern soon and score big hundreds for India!

  3. Rahul at 89: I’m gonna score century today! Rahul’s brain at 90: Wait, what is cricket? How to hold bat? Where am I? 😂😂 Man needs GPS navigation to find his way from 90 to 100!

  4. People talking about nervous 90s but what about the bowling?? Stokes bowled brilliant delivery, give credit where its due. Not everything is mental weakness, sometimes opponent plays better. Rahul technique is solid he just need bit more luck thats all.

  5. Technically speaking, the nervous 90s is well-documented psychological phenomenon in cricket. Studies shows that batsmen heart rate increase significantly between scores of 90-99. Rahul has been dismissed in 90s around 8-9 times in international cricket which is concerning pattern. The pressure of reaching milestone affects decision making and shot selection.

  6. This is joke now. How many chances team will give him?? Other players working hard in domestic cricket but KL getting chance after chance and wasting it in 90s. Selectors need to look beyond IPL performance.

  7. The interesting thing about Stokes dismissal was the field placement. Third slip was positioned perfectly suggesting they studied Rahuls tendency to edge in pressure situations. Captain brain working there not just lucky wicket like some people saying.

  8. Lol Rahul probably has nightmares about number 90. Imagine his calculator also refusing to count beyond 89 in solidarity 😄 Next match he should wear jersey number 100 for confidence boost haha

  9. This is so sad yaar. Rahul was playing so well and then got out in 90s again. He deserve century but luck not with him. Hope he gets ton soon in next match.

  10. Oh yes, poor KL Rahul, victim of the ‘nervous 90s’ again. Maybe next time he should just retire at 89 to avoid the stress? 😏

  11. Always same story with KL Rahul! When will he learn to handle pressure?? So many times stuck in 90s, this is mental weakness not bad luck. Team need dependable batsman not someone who chokes everytime.
