Rahul-Virat taught a lesson to Team India! (PC-PTI)
Ishan Kishan – out on the primary ball, Rohit Sharma – out on the sixth ball and Shreyas Iyer – out on the third ball. Team India’s begin towards Australia within the World Cup 2023 was like this. Team India had misplaced 3 wickets in 2 overs and there have been solely 2 runs. Believe me, 3 out of 4 high order batsmen of Team India had not even opened their account. This occurred for the primary time within the historical past of ODI cricket with Team India. But Virat Kohli and KL Rahul got here as messiahs for the troubled Team India.
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli not solely stood agency on the crease in tough occasions but in addition launched an incredible counterattack on the Australian bowlers. Both Virat Kohli and Rahul took their time and as quickly as their sights have been set, they performed freely. Both made a half-century partnership in 83 balls after which transformed it right into a century in 146 balls.
Virat-Rahul scored half-centuries
Virat and Rahul reached their half-centuries by enjoying single-doubles. Virat accomplished his fifty in 75 balls and KL Rahul performed 72 balls for this. This could appear to be a sluggish fifty to you, however imagine me, it was an awesome innings below the strain of Chennai pitch and Australian bowlers.
Lessons for the highest order
These innings of Rohit and Rahul not solely harm Australia however on the similar time these innings are like a lesson for the Indian high order batsmen. The manner Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer gave away their wickets by enjoying very dangerous pictures is admittedly insufferable. Rahul and Virat taught us learn how to first think about tough pitches after which take into consideration scoring runs. Hopefully Rohit, Ishan and Shreyas Iyer will maintain this in thoughts within the coming matches.
