Senior batter KL Rahul has spoken on the mis-guided perception of player choosing money over their country. In an interview with mensxpoffcial, KL Rahul said that there’s a big perception that players having a good contract in IPL do not care about their career in the international arena.
‘There’s a huge perception about cricketers that just because we have big contracts and we get paid a lot of money for playing IPL that we don’t care about our performance or we do not care about the sport. It was never the thing for us or it was never about the money,” said KL Rahul.

KL Rahul also went to talk about the likes of MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma and the duo have been a source of inspiration for the Indian cricketers. “All of us in the team, when you say Captain, when you say leader, the first name that comes to our mind is MS Dhoni. I don’t think anyone can be compared to MS Dhoni,” KL Rahul said on MS Dhoni
