KL Rahul ended the match by playing a brilliant 42 -run innings in the semifinal match against Australia. Team India has now reached the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final. Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is constantly performing well, but still raising questions about his location in Playing 11. About which Rahul has now openly talked.
Rahul’s batting sequence is often changed
KL Rahul, who is in excellent form, has batted from No. 1 to No. 6 in ODI format. In an interview after the semifinal match, KL Rahul said, ‘What else can I do for Team India? I was opening in Test matches in Australia and you know how difficult it is to face the ball. It is a little different to come from there and bat in the middle order, but I have no complaints.
I have been playing white ball cricket this way for the last 4-5 years. I have a habit of moving up and down the bat order. I am happy to play wherever I am told to play, and this has helped me understand my game better.
KL Rahul did everything for the team
KL Rahul has played every role as a batsman for Team India. Talking about which he said in his interview, “In the last one year, it has also helped me improve my boundary heating skills.” Since 2020, I have been batting at No. 5. People forget that I’m playing here. Whenever I do well in a series and take a break from ODI cricket, the next series comes, ‘Where will he play in the Playing XI?’ Questions like questions begin to arise. Sometimes, I sit in the dressing room and think, ‘What else can I do?’ Wherever I have been told to play, I have played and I think I have done well according to what Rohit said.
Captain Rohit supports Rahul
Indian team captain Rohit Sharma has supported KL Rahul in a bad time. Speaking about this, Rahul said, “Rohit has supported me, has always supported me, and the captain’s trust is very important to me.” I love to bat. It is also fun to bat up to 30 balls. There is also pressure – a wrong shot and you can disappoint the team.
