KL Rahul said, ‘Whatever role the team asks me to play, I will tell them that I have to stay only in the XI. I have to play matches. I have missed many important matches due to injury. But now I am completely desperate to give a tremendous performance. Currently I am 31 years old and I have been playing for my team since I was 22 years old. However, when it comes to matches, I have not played much. I had to wait for my turn because at that time Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan were playing and then Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Bhai in ODI cricket. I have missed a lot of cricket: KL Rahul KL Rahul further said, ‘This is the reason why I had to wait a long time for my opportunity to come. I have played a lot of cricket matches but this time I want to play more and more matches. I have to perform well for my country and come to the middle order and enjoy my cricket. KL Rahul has so far performed very well for the Indian team in the middle order. Now it remains to be seen whether KL Rahul will be seen in the role in T20 World Cup 2024?

Sunil Gavaskar told Star Sports, ‘This is Test cricket where you are tested. I always say that if you are not able to play on a pitch where the ball rotates towards the batsmen, then you may have to face a lot of problems. SENA: The media of the country is strongly criticizing this thing and saying that if you cannot bat on a pitch with high bounce then you are not a batsman. But I would like to say that you are not a batsman if you are not able to bat on a turning pitch. There are two ways in which the ball rotates on a bouncy pitch. Whereas on a turning pitch you have to go ahead and bat. The batsman should know how to play all types of shots. Our media should also write about this: Sunil Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar further said, ‘Our media should also write about this. But the problem is that our media does interviews with the players and that is why they cannot see anyone sad. This is the reason why he does not question the ability of foreign players.
