KL Rahul: Top Order Mein Zyada Comfortable, But Team Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega
Apne batting position se matlab na rakhte hue, KL Rahul consistently perform karte rahe hain. Lekin agar choice di jaye, toh yeh stylish keeper-batter top-order slot mein hi sabse zyada comfortable hain. Champions Trophy mein, Rahul, jo usually No. 5 pe bat karte hain, unhe ek position niche khelna pada. Dubai mein 5 innings mein unhone 174 runs banaye. Rahul ki safalta is baat ka saboot hai ki woh is naye challenge ke liye kitne prepared the aur apni game pe kaam karte rahte hain.
Top Order Wala Banda
“Main top order mein khelte hue bada hua hun. Mangalore mein 11 saal ki umar mein apne pehle competitive match se lekar India ke liye apne shuruati dino tak, aur apne career ke zyadatar hisse mein, main ek top-order batter raha hun. Yeh woh position hai jismein main sabse zyada comfortable hun aur jo mujhe sabse natural lagta hai,” Rahul ne kaha.
Team First, Always
“Lekin, jab aap ek team sport khelte hain, toh aapko hamesha woh choose karne ko nahi milta jo aap chahte hain. Aapko flexible hona chahiye aur team ki zarurat ke hisaab se adapt karne ko taiyar rehna chahiye. In saalon mein, maine yeh seekha hai ki use apnana chahiye aur jo bhi role mujhe diya jaye usmein apna best dena chahiye,” unhone JioHotstar ke saath ek baatcheet ke dauraan kaha.
Captaincy Se Inkaar?
Reports ke mutaabik, Rahul, jinhone pehle Punjab Kings aur Lucknow Super Giants ki captaincy ki hai, ne upcoming IPL mein apni nayi franchise Delhi Capitals ki captaincy karne ke mauke ko mana kar diya hai.
IPL Auction: Career Ke Liye Important
IPL auction ke baare mein baat karte hue, unhone kaha ki yeh ek player ke future ko bahut zyada prabhavit kar sakta hai.
“Pichle teen seasons se captain rehne ke karan, main team banane ki process mein actively involved raha hun. Main samajhta hun ki franchise ko squad assemble karte waqt kis tarah ke pressure ka samna karna padta hai.”
“Lekin ek player ke nazariye se, yeh aur bhi mushkil hai kyunki aapka career daav pe laga hota hai. Auction ek player ke future ko bana ya bigaad sakta hai ya unexpected challenges pesh kar sakta hai.”
“Main definitely nervous tha, thoda anxious bhi (pichle auction ke dauraan). Lekin saath hi, mujhe pata tha ki yeh mere career ke liye sahi kadam hai. Excitement bhi thi, lekin woh zyada der tak nahi rahi kyunki reality jaldi hi samajh aa jati hai.”
Agar Rahul captain nahi bante hain, toh spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel is season mein DC ki captaincy ke liye favorite hain.
Dilli Capitals: Nayi Shuruaat
LSG mein pichle saal ek kharab season ke baad, Rahul Capitals ke saath ek nayi shuruaat karna chahte hain.
“Main Delhi Capitals join karke bahut khush hun. Team ke owner, Parth Jindal, mere kareebi dost hain, aur humne cricket ke bahar bhi kai chizon pe charcha karte hue kaafi waqt bitaya hai.”
“Main janta hun ki woh is sport ko lekar kitne passionate hain, aur main is team ka hissa banke thrilled hun. Hamare paas ek strong squad hai, aur main aage aane wale season ka besabri se intezaar kar raha hun. Yeh mere liye ek naya anubhav hoga – ek nayi franchise join karna, shayad IPL mein meri chauthi ya paanchvi team. Main excited aur thoda nervous dono feel kar raha hun.”
Solid Team, Ucche Umeed
DC ne kabhi IPL nahi jeeta hai, lekin Rahul ko “solid team” ke saath achcha performance karne ki umeed hai. “Squad aur management ne team ko jis tarah se banaya hai, use dekhte hue, yeh ek well-balanced side lagti hai jismein zyadatar areas cover kiye gaye hain. Experienced players aur young talent ka ek badhiya combination hai, aur main kuch incredibly skilled youngsters ke saath khelne aur unse seekhne ke liye bhi excited hun.”
“Mitchell Starc, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav jaise players ke saath, jinme se kai ke saath main pehle bhi khel chuka hun, hamare paas ek solid squad hai. Main IPL shuru hone ka besabri se intezaar kar raha hun.”
Aage Ki Raah
Rahul, jinhone recent times mein impressive average maintain kiya hai aur Champions Trophy ke final mein New Zealand ke khilaf 34 runs banakar not out rahe, ne international cricket mein apne safar par bhi roshni daali.
“Yeh safar chunautiyon se bhara raha hai — upar-niche rahe hain, aur maine woh sab kuch anubhav kiya hai jo ek athlete kar sakta hai. Lekin peeche mudkar dekhne par, yeh ek khoobsurat safar raha hai, aur main ise kisi aur tarah se nahi chahunga.”
“Ab, main apne career ke agle 10 saalon ke liye excited hun. Main apne pehle dashak mein jo kuch bhi seekha hai use build karna chahta hun, us experience ko apply karna chahta hun, aur evolve hota rehna chahta hun. Mera focus har din improve karne, ek player ke roop mein grow karne aur apni team ke liye zyada matches jeetne par hai,” unhone kaha.
