Ex-India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said India's stand-in captain KL Rahul has looked "clueless" in the first two ODIs against South Africa. He stated, "Rahul doesn't have much experience of captaincy. He has only captained Punjab Kings...[and they] haven't done anything of note [under Rahul]." Gavaskar added, "You need to have patience when you think of Rahul as captain."
