Speaking on JioHotstar, Parthiv Patel said that this is Rahul’s best series so far, he has been consistent with his run scoring. Patel said that Rahul starts well in series but fails to maintain that level of play.
Patel said on JioHotstar The way KL Rahul has batted in this series is great. We have seen him start well before but fail to sustain it. This time he has shown he can play well consistently. And he likes batting at The Oval, he scored a hundred with Rishabh Pant in 2018 there. So I expect him to score more runs
According to Parthiv, Rahul has played well and consistently. He expects the Test at the Oval to be another big game for Rahul given his record at the ground.
