Rohit Sharma did not play in the two-Test series played against Bangladesh because he was injured. In such a situation, KL Rahul captained the team. Under Rahul’s captaincy, India somehow managed to win the series, but the acting captain of the team, Rahul, is on the target of critics. The reason for this is Rahul’s current form. Regarding his form, Rahul said that he tried but did not get success and hence he accepts his mistake.
Rahul’s bat has not worked at all in this series. He has been able to score only 57 runs in four innings in total. Rahul scored 22 and 23 runs in the first Test match played in Chattogram. After this, he scored 10 and two runs in the second match. Rahul said that nothing lasts long and he will soon return to form.
nothing lasts long
After the second match was over, when Rahul came to the press conference, he was asked questions about his form. On this Rahul said, “I have played a lot of cricket and have seen ups and downs in it. I know nothing stays with you for long. You should move forward. One should always try to do better and improve. When you play all three formats, it is difficult to switch from one format to another. Personally, I had not played Test cricket for a long time. So it takes some time to get back into that environment.”
He said, “As far as this series is concerned, definitely my performance has not been good. I accept this. I did my best but it didn’t work. But like I said earlier, I am looking forward to see what I can do better.
must be out
Rahul said, “Be it overseas conditions or any other conditions, we always get out in every situation. The batsman will be out sometime or the other. If the pitch is helpful to the spinners then the spinners will be out and if the pitch is helpful to the fast bowlers then they will be out. So much you don’t think whether you are getting out on spinners or getting out on fast bowlers.
India now has to play Test series against Australia in the next year. In this four-match Test series, Rahul will try to return to his form and give his team a place in the final of the ICC World Test Championship. To reach the final of the ICC WTC, Team India is in dire need of a series win against Australia. If Team India wins 4-0 in this series, then it will easily play the final. Even if she wins the series by 3-0 or 3-1, she can easily go to the final.
