    Rahul Is Always Under Pressure, But This Knock Will Boost His Confidence: Kumble

    By IANS News March 05, 2025 • 13:48 PM View: 555
    ICC Champions Trophy: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes KL Rahul is unfairly scrutinised, but his composed knock in India's ICC Champions Trophy semi-final against Australia should boost his confidence.

    Coming in at No. 6 in a tense chase of 265, Rahul remained unbeaten on 42 off 34 balls, guiding India home with key partnerships alongside Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya.

    Kumble, speaking on ESPNcricinfo Match Day, felt Rahul should have batted ahead of Axar Patel, who made a handy contribution before falling at a crucial moment. "I know Axar did a good job of getting that partnership with Virat Kohli, but someone like KL Rahul coming in at that stage—this is what he can do. If he gets to 30, he will ensure that you cross the line. He does that and he does that consistently," Kumble said.
