Former Indian cricketer showers praise on KL Rahul
Former Indian cricket team batter Aakash Chopra was left impressed after KL Rahul single-handedly propelled Delhi Capitals to an impressive six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash on Thursday in Bengaluru. Rahul’s explosive innings of 93 off 53 was the driving force behind DC’s successful chase of a modest total of 163, which they accomplished in just 17.5 overs.
"KL Rahul's batting. He was the Player of the Match. He made a ground, a circle, and then planted his bat in the middle, and said this is his area and he reigns there. He would have been hurt. Rahul even used to put his fingers in his ears to keep the outside noise out. However, he would have been seeing and hearing everything, enduring and swallowing it," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
"When they won the match, he said - 'I started here, I was with you, but you let me go. It's fine if you let me go then, but this time when I came in the auction, you had money as well. You went till â‚ą23 crore for Venky Iyer and didn't come to me till â‚ą12 crore. You don't value my skill set. So I will take it upon myself to change the game for you,'" he added.
Chopra also highlighted the battle between KL Rahul and Josh Hazlewood during the chase.
“He got a life. It was a difficult catch that Rajat Patidar dropped. However, after that, the shots he played, we saw kamaal Rahul's lajawab form. He played beautifully. However, a small battle comes in a big battle at times. A slight drizzle came. There, an over was given to Hazlewood, and KL Rahul was in front of him. It was best vs best."
