KL Rahul’s fall to Number Although 6 has been debated ad nauseum, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak remarked that the wicketkeeper-batter has embraced the new position completely, adding much more depth to the batting.
Rahul has been very successful as the No. With an average of over 50, five batters have scored more than 1,000 runs, but since the ODI series against Sri Lanka last year, he has been batting a spot lower.
Rahul, on the other hand, has indicated signs of adjusting to the requirements of the quite strange slot, as was clear from his unbeaten 42 against Australia in the semifinal of the Champions Trophy.
The right-hander scored a rapid 34 runs side by side Hardik Pandya to effectively close the door on Australia.
Kotak pointed out Rahul’s adaptability; he arrived almost one hour ahead of the planned net session.
“He is a person who can open, who can go at four or five, and who is doing precisely what point six is demanding. Kotak said he adapts well and is quite happy in the performance of the part.
The one-time Saurashtra batter noted being a strong middle-order guest. 6 has worked for the team.
His beginning to perform at that number, obviously also helpful because of the new context he is going in. So, this is excellent for the group also.
“Whatever I have said to him, he is pleased to carry out whatever the team calls for, and has been so doing,” he included.
Kotak stated that the veteran players have been keeping the dressing room calm before the big day since they have been through such events, there is no excessive pressure on India before the last.
“the senior , young players all speak.” That’s something of great value. Among those guys, Shami and Jadeja are speaking persuaded by Rohit, Virat, and Hardik. Their professional years total 15 to 20.
Those players who have played for two or three years are being addressed. Obviously, then, you learn from experience several things. But listening to the guys who have that experience and they are talking about their 20 years of learning, that is a great environment,” he added started listening.
