KL Rahul has the ability and the shots where he can change his batting tempo at any time: Gautam Gambhir
Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir recently shed light on the importance of KL Rahul in the middle-order.
He opined that Rahul provides the much-needed stability at the number 4 position and also has multiple gears and can shift them effortlessly as per the situation of the game. During a discussion on Star Sports, Gambhir said:
"The most important thing is stability. You need a batter at No. 4 who can give you stability because you don't want to put the entire pressure on your top three. KL provides you that stability. KL Rahul has the ability and the shots where he can change his batting tempo at any time.
He added:
"However, more important than that was that he scored a century in his first game against Pakistan after coming back from injury and he looked in a totally different rhythm after that. Whoever has played international cricket for a very long time will know that you need one inning and your entire rhythm, confidence and mindset change."
