Indian batter KL Rahul recently provided some fascinating insights regarding his cricketing experiences during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 action in Pakistan and Dubai. KL Rahul has chosen the sharpest cricketer from Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni.

During an intriguing Q&A session with ESPNCricinfo, Rahul named Afghanistan's spin magician Rashid Khan as the most difficult bowler he has faced. However, when it comes to the bowler he despises facing in the nets, Rahul chose his Indian teammate Mohammad Shami.

Shami's velocity and mobility make life difficult even in practice, and Rahul was not afraid to admit it. The Karnataka batsman also praised Indian batting icon Virat Kohli's hallmark flick stroke. Rahul confessed that he would want to incorporate it into his own arsenal.

Looking back on his most memorable Test innings, the right-hander scored a century against South Africa in Centurion. Rahul hit 123 runs as an opener against South Africa in Centurion for the first time, and this innings holds great significance for the batter.

Meanwhile, Rahul again named Mohammad Shami as the most difficult bowler to keep wickets against, emphasizing the Indian pacer's erratic movement. He also remembered being first terrified by the former pacer Ishant Sharma in the Indian dressing room.

KL Rahul was also asked to choose the sharpest cricketing brain. Rahul, who has played under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma thought for a bit and then named Rohit Sharma as the smartest cricketer.

According to Rahul, Rohit's strategic mentality and ability to read the game distinguish him from Kohli and Dhoni as a captain who is always one step ahead.

On the other hand, Rahul said that Australia's Brad Haddin was the chattiest wicketkeeper he had faced while batting. On a lighter note, Rahul chose Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj as the most proud of his big-hitting ability.
