New Delhi: Team India's opener KL Rahul is constantly on the target of critics due to his form. Former Indian bowler Venkatesh Prasad has also questioned his place in the team. Although Rahul has got the support of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid. Team India's coach Rahul Dravid has broken the silence amidst the constantly arising questions. While skipper Rohit has said that he will continue to back 'talented players', Dravid feels that KL Rahul needs to 'trust his process'. Speaking to Star Sports after the second Test in Delhi, Dravid called Rahul 'one of India's most successful overseas openers'.
it's just a phase
Dravid said- “I think he needs to trust his processes. It is just a phase, he has been one of our most successful overseas openers. He has scored hundreds in South Africa and England, we will continue to back him. I believe he has quality and class." This unit is nice to work with, but the hardest part is managing the formats. I don't give them much technical coaching. Just simple conversation and love to challenge them.
Learn to play on pitches like Delhi
Rohit, on the other hand, urged Rahul to learn to play on pitches like Delhi. “Obviously when you are playing on these kind of pitches, you need to find your way of scoring runs. Different individuals are part of this team and they will have different ways of scoring runs, find your own ways of doing it. Don't focus too much on what one person is doing because it's about the whole team. This is an important series for us. These are my thoughts on KL Rahul. Rahul's dip in form is expected to intensify his competition with Shubman Gill for the second opening spot in the Indian Test team.
