The initial day of the Boxing Day Test between India and South Africa saw difficult batting situations and the opening score of 24 for 3, but KL Rahul’s half-century enabled India to achieve a score of 208 for 8 over 59 overs. Vikram Rathore said Rahul is turning out to be man of crisis for us. Rahul remained unwavering in all of this, guiding the innings with an outstanding unbeaten half-century. The only player from India to score an ODI century on his debut is Rahul.
Vikram Rathore said Rahul is turning out to be man of crisis for us
During a press conference, Vikram Rathour stated. “Rahul is turning out to be a man of crisis for us. Every time, there are tough situations, he is the guy who handles it well for us. Nothing special, he was clear with his game plans, defended the right balls, attacked the right ones,”
Rahul took command and put on a fantastic show, hitting ten fours and two sixes during his innings. After that, he joined forces with Shardul Thakur to score a crucial 43 runs for the seventh wicket. In just 33 balls, Thakur scored 24 runs on his own.
Batting is always going to be difficult, according to Rathour. “The weather was an issue,” he said. “The wicket was undercover for a day or more than that. It was always going to be challenging as a batting group. We would have loved to have a couple of more wickets in hand. But we have done reasonably well.”
Yashasvi Jaiswal nicked a toss in the channel, and Shubman Gill handled an incoming ball from Nandre Burger along the leg side, while Indian captain Rohit Sharma passed away to the hook shot.
