Every Word KL Rahul Said Ahead Of T20I Series Opener Against AUS

KL Rahul has constantly been on the radar for his batting in the shortest format of the game. The Indian cricket team vice-captain currently boasts a strike rate of 127.96 in T20Is since January 2021. The 31-year old’s strike rate is considered to be low, especially with Rahul opening the batting for the Men in Blue. There have been plenty of questions raised on the same especially after Virat Kohli’s jaw dropping century came when he opened the batting against Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022.

Speaking with the media on Tuesday ahead of the first T20I in Mohali against Australia, KL Rahul stated how he is working on some aspects of his game. The India vice-captain revealed how his much-talked strike rate game is one of those factors.

He said, “Look, obviously something that every player wants to work on. No one is perfect, everybody is working towards something, obviously strike-rates are taken on an overall basis. You never see when a batter has played at a certain strike-rate, whether it was important to play for him to play at 200 strike-rate or whether the team could have still won with him playing at 120-130. These are the things that no one analyses.”

“Yes, it is something that I am working at, the roles that have been defined to each player in last 10-12 months have been very clear, everyone is working towards it. And, I am just working towards how can I better myself as an opening batter and how I can have an impact for my team whenever I go out to bat,” KL Rahul added.

The Karnataka based star further stated, “There can be criticism for many things. But the most important thing for a player is that what his captain, coach and teammates think of him in the dressing room. Only we know what role is expected of each player.. It is the kind of environment we have created where players are not scared to commit mistakes or fail.”

“Anyone can criticise but we criticise ourselves more than any of you do because we are representing our country, you want to win games for your country, and we want to win the World Cup. All of these things are in our mind, if we do not do well, it hurts us as well. What goes in our group, that is what is important.” KL Rahul revealed.
