Dinesh Karthik praised KL Rahul's performance
It was the goal of the Indian goalkeeper Dinesh Karthik showered praise on KL Rahul for his commendable performances.
On Day 4 of the third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Brisbane, he stood tall when the top order collapsed.
Rahul has scored 235 runs in three matches and has emerged as India's leading run-scorer. He has shown his wit and skill in the series so far.
Karthik, emphasized the importance of appreciating Rahul's efforts, asking fans and selectors to support him continuously.
“I believe in it. We have the opener that India want and I hope they back him. A year from now, if there's a streak where he has some low points, I hope people don't have very short memories. They have to appreciate what he's doing today, and that matters a lot,” Karthik said. “People tend to forget that a lot of Test cricketers are judged on what they do away, and he's been as good as anybody who has ever played for the country in a period of time,” he added while talking to Cricbuzz.
KL Rahul's Impressive Performance
KL Rahul had taken the responsibility of opening the Innings for India in the challenging Test series. He has scored 26, 77, 37, 7, 84 and 4* in the series so far. The scorecard reflects a mix of stability and resilience to the Australian's dominant bowling.
Karthik also noted Rahul's strength in overseas conditions, where Indian openers often struggle. “We always complain about his durability. And I think that's something that he takes on board, and he hasn't been that… The average suggests that 34 is his average as we speak, but he's a lot better than that. He is someone who is much, much better than that. But if you get just any Indian team who wants to tour abroad, he'd be one of the earlier names you'd put on that list because you know what you're going to get from him.”
