'Kya ye utne fit nahi hai? Ajeeb si baat hai': Ex-PAK cricketer targets KL Rahul using Gilchrist, Sangakkara's example

As skipper Rohit Sharma was getting his injury nursed, Virat Kohli stepped up in the captain's absence and opened the innings alongside southpaw Shikhar Dhawan but both batters soon faltered in the run chase. KL Rahul who once played as an opener in ODIs has copped criticism from former Pakistan cricket captain, Salman Butt. Butt questioned Rahul's batting position in the second ODI and slammed him for not delivering as an opener in the absence of the Indian skipper. 
Rahul whose neck of the woods has been the opening slot and has batted as an opener on many occasions for his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise team and the national team did not open the batting despite Rohit's departure. Speaking on this, Butt was of the view that the vice-captain should have batted as an opener since he is familiar with that position. 
“Rohit Sharma ko injury hui, toh obviously Virat Kohli ne open kiya. Aapke paas KL Rahul regular opener hain, vo kyun nahi gaye open karne? (Rohit Sharma got injured so obviously Virat Kohli opened the innings. You had KL Rahul as a regular opener, why didn’t he open the innings?)”
He named the icons of the game who have batted as an opener for their sides in addition to keeping the wickets and rhetorically questioned if the 30-year-old is capable of emulating the greats. 
“Ispe behes ye hogi ki unhone wicketkeeping ki hui thi. Duniya me bohot saare players hain jo wicketkeeping ke saath open karte hain. Adam Gilchrist karte hain, Kumar Sangakkara karte rahe, Quinton de Kock karte hain, kya ye utne fit nahi hain? Ajeeb si baat hai. (Some will argue that Rahul had kept wickets, but there have been a lot of players who have opened for the side after keeping wickets, like Gilchrist, Sangakkara and Quinton de Kock. Is Rahul not as fit as them? It's very weird),” Butt said on his official YouTube channel.
“There's something wrong with the thought process or the role definition. Cheezein settled nahi hain. Aisa lagta hai ki practice chal rahi hai, (Things are not settled. It seems like practice is going on)” the tainted Pakistan cricketer concluded.
