Over the past few years, Rohit Sharma has often been credited as a dough that sets a tone for shifts in a cricket of a white ball for India. His selfless approach often gave India an ideal start and helped the columns that the team builds control over driving.
In a cricket with a red ball, India is on such a dough on the viewpoint since Rohit has begun a little. The former retirement of the captain from the tests left a large gap at the top, because India needed a wise head to connect with their young, annoying southeast, Yashasvi Jaiswal. On behalf of KL Rahul, someone who has been in the last few years after the order of tabs.
India vs. West Indies, 1. Test: Message 1 Day | Most important
Since opening the launch to the middle of the middle order, Rahul fought as a good soldier, he always liked to play his role in the matter of the team. Then came England Tour, where Rahul was restored to his favorite opening place – this time permanently.
The results were there to see everyone. He often set the tone of shifts with his beautiful shots and solid defense. Despite the tour, the opener scored 532 runs in just 10 shifts, which proves he stayed here. Before the West Indies series, he performed for India and against Australia and scored a fine hundred, showing that his rich vein has not disappeared.
On the first of the first test Rahul again set the pace of shifts, although Jaiswal later released. A 33 -year -old man showed respect for the Windies paceras when they were on the song, and as soon as he got the track, he continued his offensive.

Takeover of responsibility
One thing that Rahul was famous for his career is the way he has responsibility. In addition to mixing with Sai Sudhasan, the Indian opener was not the moment of uncertainty.
Although he later suffered injuries, his focus remained intact. When Parhiv spoke after a daily game, he pointed out how Rahul closed concerns about his form by accepting his responsibility as a senior.
“Kl Rahul was excellent today; he continued his form from England Tour. There were concerns about this series before this series, but I thought he took responsibility really well. It is very important when the team passes through the transition that your higher players have performed, and that’s exactly what Kl Rahul did in England.
The former Wicketkeeper also feels that Rahul is now more populated with his launch and leaning him to have his best year in terms of running.
“He took the time to settle, and as soon as he was set up, we saw him his legs and turning the blow.
Finding the right pace
Like his time in England, Rahul’s shifts against Western India were characterized by how well he defended the hind leg and left the vans. For the opener, it is all about finding the right pace that came to him naturally after getting a role, according to Daren Gang.
The former West Indian dough feels that it is the best version of Rahul in tests and that in the future it will be much more successful.
“Kl Rahul is a classic player. The pace he has found as a dough allows him to be the best, and for me he comes with a clarity of his role in this Indian team and his approach to cricket testing. He found this rhythm in the series against England and now see the sequel.”
It is very comfortable to leave the ball, accustomed to conditions and adapting to opposition pitch. Technically, he is very healthy and built his style of play in the test cricket around his defense and judgment to leave. For me it’s an intelligent tab and I think it’s the best version of KL Rahul and you’ll see more of its best in the future, ”said Ganga.
Rahul ended the day undefeated at 53, but all eyes will be at whether he can reach his hundred. If it gets there, it will be his second on Indian soil, with the last one who returns to his way back in 2016. Even more important is that the Indian Opener will eagerly adjust the tone, give his party full control of the competition and ensure that West India is chasing the game.
