Indian batsman KL Rahul had said 2 days before the Adelaide Test that he can bat at any position. On Wednesday, Rahul was asked about his favorite batting position. He spoke to the media after practice at the Oval ground.
When 32-year-old KL Rahul was asked in which batting position he is best, he said – 'Anywhere… I have said earlier that I only want to be in the playing-11. You can fit me anywhere in the team. I just want to play for the team.'
Have you been informed about your batting position…? In response to this question, Rahul smiled and said – Yes, but it has also been said that I should not share with you people.
Speaking further, KL Rahul said-
I have overcome the mental challenge of changing the batting order. I have batted at many positions. Earlier it was a bit challenging not only technically but also mentally. Changing the batting order made me think about how to play the first 20-25 balls. How quickly can I become aggressive? How careful do I need to be? These were things that were difficult at first.
Understand the whole matter in Q&A…
Why question Rahul's batting position? In the absence of Rohit, Rahul opened the Perth Test. He scored 26 off 74 balls in the first innings and 77 off 176 balls in the second innings. He shared a record opening partnership of 201 runs with Yashaswi Jaiswal in the second innings.
Now captain Rohit Sharma has joined the team. With his arrival, questions are being raised as to who will open with Yashaswi? KL Rahul or regular opener Rohit Sharma. This question is also being raised because Rohit Sharma could not score a fifty in the last 5 innings. He was able to score 39 runs.
Experts said – Rahul should open After the Perth Test, many cricket experts are giving their opinion on India's batting order. Meanwhile, veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara said that Rohit should open with Yashaswi Jaiswal. Also KL Rahul should be sent at number-3.
He has advised to drop Kohli at number-4 and Shubman Gill at number-5. Also, some experts say that captain Rohit Sharma should bat in the middle order.
