“He’s been amazing,” Gavaskar stated on Cricket Live on Star Sports. One of the best things about KL Rahul’s batting is that he never takes a cricket shot that sounds agricultural. It’s like he’s playing from a textbook with every shot he makes.”
The KL is a beautiful piece of art. Gavaskar thinks Rahul’s ability to score at a healthy rate by playing perfect shots is a message that one doesn’t need to manufacture shots to score rapidly, and he’s not the only one. Rahul, the skipper of the Lucknow Super Giants, has already scored two centuries in the IPL-15, both against Mumbai Indians. He has scored 368 runs so far this season, second only to Jos Buttler of the Rajasthan Royals.
“He’s been amazing,” Gavaskar stated on Cricket Live on Star Sports. In KL Rahul’s batting, there is nothing agricultural about his cricketing shots. This is the best aspect of his batting. Every shot he takes is a textbook example of how to do it.
Using his shot-making skills, he has actually shown you that you don’t need to fabricate shots.” Use the shots you’ve got, and his shot selection has been amazing.” Kevin Pietersen, the former England captain, too hailed the Karnataka batsman as a breath of fresh air.
“He has a wide range of strokes in his arsenal,” Pietersen added. So that he can hit you over the back foot point, he can slice you for six. He has the ability to pick you over midwicket, hit you over extra cover, and hit you down the ground.
‘So, he’s a true all-around batter,’ I thought. He’s a breath of fresh air, to put it mildly. You could watch him bat all day if you turned on the TV. Irfan Pathan, a former Indian all-rounder, noted that a right-handed hitter adjusts his game to the circumstances.
For me, Lokesh Rahul is the batter who can change his strike rate depending on the situation,” Irfan added. Style, grace, and aggression allow him to build innings the way he sees fit.
“His technique is sound, and he has a kind disposition.” He’s taking his time to assess the situation and adjust his approach to the plate. At the right time, Rahul knows just how to change gears.”
