    "editor1": "<p><strong>Cardiff (England), May 29 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>&nbsp;India skipper Virat Kohli heaped praise on K.L. Rahul who struck a brilliant century against Bangladesh in the second warm-up game, saying his form was the &quot;biggest positive&quot; India would take into their first match of the World Cup against South Africa on June 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Tuesday, Rahul scored 108 runs, which included 12 fours and 4 sixes during the course of his 99-ball inning, as India defeated Bangladesh by 95 runs at the Sophia Gardens.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although, BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad had nominated Vijay Shankar for the much-debated no. 4 spot, Kohli hinted that Rahul could take that position during the course of the showpiece event.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The biggest positive to come out of this game was the way KL batted at four,&quot; ESPNcricinfo quoted Kohli as saying after the match. &quot;All the other people know their role pretty well, so it was important that KL gets runs because he is such a sound player. He can get the scoreboard ticking and you saw that -- a great example of the skill-set that he has.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked if he was ready to bat at the number four spot, Rahul, while being diplomatic, said he was flexible with any role the team gave him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is a team game and you need to be flexible and be ready to bat wherever, or as a player you need to be ready to take up whatever role is given to you,&quot; the 27-year-old batter said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Every batsman who has played at this level knows how to handle pressure and knows how to handle the roles and responsibilities given to him,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
