KL Rahul has scores of 20, 17 & 1 in three innings of ongoing Australia Test series.
KL Rahul’s wretched run of form continued as he has scores of 20, 17, and 1 in the three innings of the two Tests against Australia. He now has an average of 33.44 after 47 Tests and his last century in the format came in 2021 against South Africa and since then, it has been a huge struggle for him.
Talking about the future of KL Rahul in the Indian Team, Rahul Dravid said that the management will continue to back him and that it was just a phase.
“I think he needs to trust his processes. This is just a phase, he has been one of our most successful overseas openers. He’s got hundreds in South Africa and England, we’ll continue to back him. I believe he has the quality and class to come out of this. It is great working with this unit, managing formats is the most difficult part. But there’s not a lot of technical coaching, just simple conversations and challenging them, and giving them a pat on the back when they do well,” Dravid said on Star Sports in a post-match interview.
He then talked about the turning point of the match and lauded the batting partnership between Akshar Patel and R Ashwin for getting India back in the game.
He praised the captaincy and batting of Rohit Sharma as well and said that he cares deeply about his players and has the respect of the dressing room.
He’s a Bombay basher that’s grown up in the maidans. I feel he’s unlucky to get himself injured. He wasn’t there for the Test matches in South Africa and England. But he comes across as a good old-fashioned Test batsman,” Dravid said.
