India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has conceded that he found the continued criticism directed at him painful and puzzling especially when his performance was not that bad. Rahul, who was out of action for months due to a thigh injury he sustained during the IPL in May, returned to the side during the Asia Cup last month, where he finished as the side's third-highest run-scorer.
Star India batter Virat Kohli believes that the horror start his team had in its World Cup opener against Australia allowed him and KL Rahul to "eradicate the errors" from their game. The hosts were put in a tricky situation while chasing Australia's target of 200, as they were left reeling at two for three by the second over. It was then when Kohli (85) and Rahul (97 not out) put on a binding 164-run stand for the fourth wicket to turn things around and get the job done for the Men in Blue.
Architect of India's six-wicket win over Australia, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has a solid all-round game and provides stability in the middle-order, said bowling coach Paras Mhambrey. Rahul scored an unbeaten 97 to steer India to a fine victory in their World Cup opener on Sunday. Chasing 200, Rahul, batting at number five, arrived at the crease in the third over with Australia striking in the opening two overs to leave India reeling at two for three. Rahul tailored a crucial 165-run partnership with Virat Kohli (85) to bring India back into the chase.

However, his reaction after winning the final six of the game has gone viral on social media. India were in deep trouble during their 200-run chase as skipper Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Ishan Kishan were all dismissed without scoring a single run. Rahul stitched together a brilliant partnership with Kohli as both the batters scored half-centuries and India were able to win the game comfortably in the end.
