India’s star cricketer KL Rahul added that after drifting through much of the past two years, he was pleased to find his batting position. His brilliant century in the second innings, in the 1st Test against England has immpressed everyone. Rahul has served the team in various capacities as he has opened the batting innings many times, since making his debut to fielding as low as No. 6 in the recent past but he says that he has been happy playing at the top of the order against the national team.
KL Rahul’s Statement
“In the last couple of years, I’ve forgotten what my position is and what I am comfortable doing. I’m happy to be given different responsibilities and roles. It makes the game exciting and makes me want to challenge myself and train that much harder. I have quite enjoyed doing that.”
“The last couple of series, my role has been to open the batting. That is something that I did growing up and in my early career. I am happy that I am back doing that and I am happy that I am doing the job for the team,” Rahul said.

“Blockbuster finish waiting tomorrow. There’s definitely going to be a result. That’s what England have said openly and it gives us the opportunity to pick up 10 wickets,” said Rahul
“Today was a tricky wicket. Tomorrow it might break even more. We’ll give ourselves the best chance to pick up the 10 wickets,” added Rahul during the post-stumps press conference.
“At tea, there was a little bit of discussion on how much we need, or whether to give them (England) a few overs to bat and pick up a few wickets. Ideally we would have wanted about 40 runs more,” said Rahul.
