The young Indian opener, KL Rahul as been going through a rough patch in his cricketing career. After failing to prove his worth during India’s tour to the West Indies, he was not picked in the playing XI during the three-match T20I series against South Africa at home. Apart from that, he has also been dropped from the Test squad for the three-match series against the Proteas.
Amid all this, Rahul posted a picture on Twitter, undergoing Cryogenic Therapy and captioned it, “Chilling (literally),” which did not go well among his fans.

That's what you are meant to do. No runs under your belt, still part of the team, how do you manage man – share the secret sauce….. Better if you spend more time on practice, than posing and posting pictures.
