IND vs NED LIVE: Under-fire KL Rahul takes SPECIAL net session with Dravid, coaching staff at SCG after flop show vs Pakistan – Check out
India might have won one of the most thrilling as well as emotionally exhausting T20I games in World Cup history against Pakistan but there was no let-up in intensity as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda were all back at the SCG nets for a solid two-hour session.
The biggest complaint against Rahul is that he never scores big when the occasion demands. He has failed against Pakistan in three of the last four games even as he had some sizzling knocks in bilateral series games against Australia and South Africa.
The bowlers have now decoded that an “imaginary fourth off-stump” line to Rahul at a good pace can yield result. At the start of the innings, a delivery on the channel or with a hint of inward movement off the track catches him off guard as he has either been played or adjudged leg before.
In fact, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Harshal Patel were continuously told to bowl outside the off-stump. Rahul didn’t look too comfortable on one occasion as he was forced to close the face of his bat. Had it been a match situation, it would have kept the point fielder interested.
When Yuzvendra Chahal bowled, Rahul tried to rock back and pull a few towards mid-wicket against the turn. The vice-captain will be keen to get back amongst the runs and SCG on Thursday will be the perfect chance to do so.
