'Cometh the hour, Cometh the Man'! KL Rahul, a true owner of this phrase, has time and time again, provided the Indian fans with numerous memories across all formats. Arguably the most talented batsman produced by India in the modern era, KL Rahul has shots for every line, length, direction, area, and what not.
An all-format player, who became India's next big thing, was labelled as 'KLassy Rahul' back in the days, but since the turn of the decade, fans have lost their trust in the talented batsman from Karnataka.
KL Rahul has once again showed his haters that his resilience, endurance, and skill-set remains unparalled amidst tough conditions, against fearsome pace attack... on overseas pitches.
India are struggling at 51/4 on Stumps, Day 3 of the 3rd Test between India and Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane, and the likes of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant are back in the hut.
KL Rahul remains unbeaten on 33 alongside skipper Rohit Sharma, who himself is heavily struggling for form in the red-ball format. The wicket-keeper batsman has an uphill task to guide team India out of trouble, a task he has constantly been doing throughout the years, and yet, his credit remains heavily due.
With his 33 runs, KL Rahul has now completed 2000 Test runs in overseas countries, thereby, reflecting his utmost importance for the Indian side whenever they need him the most.
Inspite of all the trolls, hate comments KL Rahul receives, fans must take a note that in the recent past, it has been KL Rahul's unparalleled greatness that has guided India out of trouble. The most recent ones are the vital knocks he played against Australia and South Africa.
During the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, their opening match was against Australia, and in their chase of 200, India were reeling at 2/3. Up came KL Rahul, who played an iconic knock of 97* against the mighty Aussies.
Remember one thing, when the score was 20/3, Mitchell Marsh dropped a sitter of Virat Kohli. If it would have been otherwise, we might have not witnessed a crucial knock from the 'King'.
Even during the Test series in South Africa, when every other Indian batter failed, KL Rahul stood tall and scored a match-defining century to deliver a knockout blow to the Proteas.
At last, the Indian fans should enjoy and not troll what they have at their disposal, as not every good thing lasts forever, and appreciate KL Rahul, before it's too late.
