KL Rahul has been facing a serve ire from fans after his three poor performances in the ongoing T20 World Cup. India suffered loss against South Africa in their last clash and since then demands of dropping Rahul for Pant has been in the headlines.

Ahead of the crucial match against Bangladesh, head coach Rahul Dravid gave his verdict on Rahul's form and place in the team.

"I think he is a fantastic player, he has a proven track record. I think he has been batting superbly. These things can happen in T20Is, it has not been that easy for top-order batters. This tournament has been challenging, I think he was brilliant in the practice games against the likes of Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc. He got 60 or 70. I am hoping that it all clicks together in the next few games," said Dravid.

"We know his quality and ability, he is very well suited for these conditions. He has got a good all-round game and he has a very good backfoot game which is required in these conditions. We are happy with the way he has been hitting it," he added.

In three innings, Rahul has managed only 22 runs in 34 balls.

India set to take on Bangladesh on Wednesday in their fourth match of the tournament.
