This star player of Team India got praised by Anil Kumble after the win against Australia
Former spinner of Indian cricket team Anil Kumble praised batter KL Rahul for his match-winning performance against Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup opener at Chennai on Sunday. Anil said that Rahul is back to his original self, and the experience and deep batting he brings to the middle order augur well for the Men in Blue. A calm partnership between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul helped India secure a six-wicket victory over Australia.
Kumble said, "It looks like KL Rahul is back to his original self, like we have all seen, and we all know what he can do on the field. His skill and class on any surface, ability to spin, and pace are great. His consistency is impressive.”
He further said, "Yeah, I think he has understood his role really well. He has an exceptional ability to spin. That is something you need as a middle-order batter. The other part of KL Rahul, VK, and other batters is their ability to hit good deliveries. In 50-overs, it is not only about hitting fours and sixes; it is about soaking up pressure on a good deck and playing slightly longer depending on the situation. It is something KL has done well. It solves a lot of problems for the team. The experience he brings in that situation and being there till the end really augurs well for India.”
