Manjrekar makes a bold claim and says, ‘KL Rahul’s instinct is equal to that of MS Dhoni’
Over the years, KL Rahul has emerged as a multi-format player for India and, hence, has also been looked at as captain material by many. Just recently, he took India to a 2-1 victory over South Africa in the ODI series and led the side well in every match. In fact, former India batsman Sanjay Majrekar looked mighty impressed with Rahul, the captain.
Manjrekar said, “Manjrekar went on to say that Rahul’s instinct is equal to that of MS Dhoni." These days, when you see KL Rahul on the ground, he looks very relaxed and in a good mental space. He captained as expected. He looks comfortable in the leadership role. He has led a lot in the IPL, in a Test match in South Africa, and in one-day matches as well. You can expect KL Rahul not to make any big mistakes. He is an expert in DRS. His instinct is equal to that of MS Dhoni.”
He further added that “it seems like Indian cricket is running on autopilot mode. Suryakumar Yadav won as captain recently; KL Rahul is now. Rohit Sharma has also won a lot of games for India. A lot of credit for the success must go to the players. Captaincy is good, but not game-changing. It’s the players who are doing really well.”
