(AP Photo/Richard Pelham) London:Kl Rahul is in a comfortable space after a long time. It took 10 years of uncertainty before he scored here for several centuries. After turning 33 three months ago, he did not think when he believed he had run out of time to actually own a place on the test side of India.For a man who had never been ashamed to explore a variety of ways to improve his game, Rahul was looking for help from Formula 1 professionals to clean his mind. “Probably in the last year I have worked on several mental exercises.“I spent a little time with an expert who can help me improve my reaction time. Some mental exercises and games that you can play to help you improve with your reaction time and so on.Rahul’s indifferent career can be attributed to the inconsistent tab positions given to him. At the beginning of the home season last year launched No. 6. He had to be opened in Perth, because former Captain Rohit Sharma skipped the first test of the Indian tour after Australia. He showed the security at the top of the order that forced Rohit to first detonate the order before he asked Rahula to re -descend.
Press Conference Kl Rahul: Rishabh Pant came to the last fight and fired SHUBMAN GILL
This is the first time in the last six years, when Rahul has a clear mandate on the bat on top of the order. “I’m a happy tab on the top of the order and I have always enjoyed launching at the top of the order. In my junior cricket days I have always fired upstairs. So that’s something that feels good,” he said.Rahul, who became consistent at the top of the Order, laid a solid foundation for SHUBMAN GILL and RISHABH PANT to dominate England. In previous years, the series had a problem starting well and then heating. If Rahul can last its form, India could be for something special.
