KL Rahul responds to 'focus on scoring runs' jibe
KL Rahul gave a fitting reply to a tweet from a follower who advised him to focus on scoring runs after the India opener posted a screenshot of R Ashwin following him on Twitter with a tweet: “Oh my my.. what a start to the day. got the legend @ashwinravi99 to follow me. #humbled #blessed.”
Rahul scored only one fifty in his last four Test innings since that brilliant 199 in the fifth Test against England in December.

To thisa a fan replied in Hindi, which can be translated to “Forget all this. Focus on scoring runs”.
