KL Rahul responds to Gavaskar’s praise

At the post-match press conference, reporters informed Rahul about Gavaskar’s compliment. The wicket-keeper batsman, clearly humbled by the legendary cricketer’s words, expressed his gratitude. Rahul shared insights into his mindset while batting in the middle-order.

He said, “Firstly, I am very humbled if he has made that comment. It’s a pretty huge compliment to get. I think batting in the middle-order. What I have realized is that you can’t really plan your innings that much. When you walk in there, there is a situation in front of you. The game tells you what you need to do and how you need to play. I walk in with a very empty mindset when I bat in the middle-order, and then I react according to the situation. Today and yesterday, I knew i was going to bat with the tail, so I had to take my chances and I am glad it came off.”

KL Rahul’s response to Sunil Gavaskar’s ‘Top 10 Hundred’ compliment showcases not just the cricketer’s skill but also his modesty in the face of such high praise. The acknowledgment from a figure like Gavaskar cements Rahul’s century as a significant moment in Indian test cricket.
