KL Rahul is causing the problem of plenty for the Indian selectors as he continued his consistent run of form. Against Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20I he opened the innings with Shikhar Dhawan and made an exceptional 45. His knock helped India win by 7 wickets.
Rahul accelerated from the word go while Dhawan (32 off 29) played himself in. His 32-ball knock proved to be the deciding factor in the matter.? ?
India won with 15 balls left. The fact that Rahul is doing well at the top of the order is something that Virat Kohli is enjoying. This is because it leads to healthy competition with Dhawan and Rohit Sharma.??
But Rahul maintains he's not competing with Dhawan for the opening spot.?
"We all go out there with a simple plan which is to win the game for your country. He (Rohit) makes it look so easy and I've always batted with Shikhar, especially at the start of my Test career, and we understand each other well. I just enjoy batting with both of them," he said.
It's a good headache to have for Team India and with the World T20 approaching, it gives us options at the top of the order.?
