The second test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide. The big question is that at which number KL Rahul will bat in this match. In the first test match, KL Rahul was seen opening in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Rahul also performed brilliantly while opening the batting in the first match. Apart from this, Rahul was seen opening the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the warm-up match. Now he himself has given the answer as to which number he will bat in the match to be played in Adelaide.
KL Rahul told in the press conference at which number he will bat, but it is also being said that he cannot reveal it today. Rahul further said that to know this you will have to wait for the first day of the match or the captain’s press conference.
What did KL Rahul say?
KL Rahul said that I just want to be in the playing eleven. I want to go out there and bat and play for the team. I just go out there and see what I need to do to run in a particular situation. The good thing is that I have batted in different positions. It was a bit challenging mentally in the beginning when I was asked to bat at different positions. How to play the first 20-25 balls? How much can I attack? These things were a problem earlier, but with the experience of playing in different formats it has become easier now.
Rahul’s tremendous batting in Perth
During the day-night practice match against Australian Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra, the opening pair of Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal did not face any problems and added 75 runs for the first wicket. He scored 103 runs on 250 balls in both his innings in the Perth Test against the Kangaroo team. His innings did not let the absence of Cheteshwar Pujara be evident.
