Trusted my preparation, says KL on stunning int'l comeback
September 14, 2023
|The Statesman
KL Rahul was initially not slated to be in India’s playing eleven for their Asia Cup Super Four match against Pakistan, till a back spasm to Shreyas Iyer made him a last-minute addition.
-
It gave Rahul his first international game since March, and after undergoing surgery plus rehabilitation for a right thigh injury sustained in IPL 2023. In a rain-marred match which India won by 228 runs, Rahul struck an unbeaten 111, placing his shots well and attacking against spinners, followed by keeping wickets for the entire game.
Against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, Rahul made 39 off 44 balls before becoming one of Dunith Wellalage’s five victims via a caught and-bowled dismissal. He would then take a catch and effect a stumping as India won by 41 runs to end Sri Lanka’s winning streak of 13 games.
Now reflecting on his stunning comeback to international cricket, Rahul credited his preparation in last three to four months for the strong showing with bat and gloves, after initially not being in the frame to be in the eleven.
