IPL 2025 mein Delhi Capitals (DC) ne Rajasthan Royals (RR) ko ek dhamakedar super over thriller mein hara kar points table ki top position hasil kar li. Lekin is match mein KL Rahul ki batting pe sabka dhyan gaya – aur kaafi criticism bhi mila.
KL Rahul ne batting ki shuruaat middle order mein ki, jab DC ke Jake Fraser-McGurk aur Karun Nair jaldi out ho gaye. Rahul ne 38 runs 32 balls mein banaye, lekin unka cautious approach former RCB star Cheteshwar Pujara ko pasand nahi aaya.
“KL, being the senior player, I think he wanted to play 15-20 balls, and then go out. But, at the same time, he should have attacked a bit more, because he was set, he had enough chance to look at the pitch, he knew the conditions by then. So, he was trying, but he was just trying to muscle it out of the ground,” Pujara ne kaha ESPN Cricinfo par.
“Unki batting position bhi thodi change hui hai. Powerplay mein toh wo hard jate hain, lekin uske baad unhe thoda aur aggressive hona chahiye. Aisa laga ki wo thoda zyada cautious the, apna wicket bachane ki soch rahe the instead of apna natural game khelne,” unhone aur kaha.
Rahul ke performance ne fans ko bhi confuse kar diya hai – kya wo apni team ko consistently jeet dilwa paayenge ya phir ab bhi apna best dhoond rahe hain?
Waise toh DC ka form is IPL season mein top-notch hai – unhone 6 matches mein 5 jeete hain – aur ab unka agla match hai Gujarat Titans ke against, 19 April</strong ko, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad mein.
KL Rahul ke fans zaroor chahenge ki unka favourite star apni attacking game wapas laaye – warna criticism ka pressure aur badhne wala hai!
