India’s head coach Rahul Dravid, like Rohit Sharma, is confident in KL Rahul’s ability despite his recent slump.
KL Rahul, the opening batter for India, has recently gained notoriety, but not for the right reasons. As Rahul’s batting struggles continue, the team’s management is coming under fire. Rahul continues to have the support of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid despite the increasing volume of criticism from the outside. Dravid believes the Karnataka batter needs to “trust his process,” while Rohit said he would continue to back “gifted guys.”
In an interview with Star Sports following the conclusion of the second Test in New Delhi, Dravid referred to Rahul as “one of the most successful overseas openers” that India has ever had.
I believe he needs to have faith in his methods. He’s been one of our most effective openers in foreign markets, so we know this is only a temporary setback. We’ll keep supporting him even if he already has hundreds of followers in South Africa and the United Kingdom. I think he can get through this because of his character and qualities. It’s a pleasure to collaborate with this team, albeit the most time-consuming element is handling file types. Nevertheless, “there’s not a lot of technical coaching; it’s really just chats, challenges, and pats on the back when they do well,” as Dravid put it.
When it comes to playing on pitches like New Delhi, however, Rohit has told Rahul to “pull up his socks.”
When playing on fields like these, it’s imperative that you develop a strategy for scoring runs. Members of this team will vary in their approach to driving in runs; you’ll need to come up with your own strategies to compete. It’s not about one person, but about the team as a whole, therefore we won’t spend much time investigating. Simply put, this is a huge reason why we value this series so much. What I think about KL Rahul is as follows.
Rahul’s recent slump in form is just going to make things more competitive between him and Shubman Gill for the second opening slot on the Indian Test team.
