KL Rahul is having a tough time in the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia. The right-hander has registered scores of 4, 9, and 9 in India’s three matches against Pakistan, Netherlands, and South Africa respectively.

For his lack of runs, Rahul has come under the scanner ahead of India’s next clash against Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday (November 2).

Amid his rough patch, senior India batter Virat Kohli has come to Rahul’s rescue. On the eve of the game, Kohli was spotted having a long-chat with the opener.

While KL Rahul was batting at the indoor nets of the Adelaide Oval, Kohli came into the middle and shared his inputs with the 30-year-old.

On Tuesday (November 1), India head coach Rahul Dravid also backed KL Rahul to come good in the upcoming games.

"I think he is a fantastic player, he has a proven track record. I think he has been batting superbly. These things can happen in T20Is, it has not been that easy for top-order batters. This tournament has been challenging, I think he was brilliant in the practice games against the likes of Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc. He got 60 or 70. I am hoping that it all clicks together in the next few games," said Dravid while addressing a press conference.

"We know his quality and ability, he is very well suited for these conditions. He has got a good all-round game and he has a very good backfoot game which is required in these conditions. We are happy with the way he has been hitting it," he added.

Despite the defeat against South Africa in the last game, India's chances of making the semi-finals remain intact. The Rohit Sharma-led side is currently occupying the second spot in Group 2 standings with 4 points.

India will face Zimbabwe in their last Super 12 match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday (November 6).
