'Sunday Spent Well', Says K.L. Rahul As India Beat South Africa, Is Happy To Bat At No.6
South Africa: K.L. Rahul, who is leading India in the ODI series against South Africa after a big break in the absence of Shubman Gill, on Sunday said he is okay with batting at the No.6 position as that's the role that has been given to him in the last few series. He also gave credit to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, along with Harshit Rana, for making Sunday's victory possible despite a fightback by the visitors.
Rahul scored a 56-ball 60 batting as a middle-order batter and shared a 78-run partnership with Virat Kohli. As they made a winning start to the series despite playing the format after a break and following the 0-2 defeat in the Test series.
"I'd be lying if I said no butterflies in the stomach. We're playing ODI cricket after a while. There's some expectation. But we kept taking wickets, and bowlers stuck to plans. They pushed us and kept coming hard. Batting at No. 6 is okay, gotta do the job for the team. That's the role I've been given in the last 2-3 series. It's helping personal development," said Rahul in the post-match presentation on Sunday.
