With bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's injured back adding to Rahul Dravid-coached side's growing uncertainties over a perfect team combination going into the upcoming T20 World Cup Down Under, Rahul's coming back into his fluid best augurs well for the highest-ranked T20 team in the world. Much has been talked about his slow T20I half-century in Thiruvananthapuram – the slowest ever in T20I history by a player from a Test nation – but on Sunday the wristy Bangalorean rose to the occasion when India were asked to bat first and scored at a strike rate of 200-plus to set the platform for the next batters to take the score to 237. Some delicious hits by Rahul — flicked off the pads onto the stands — made not just the Guwahati spectators delirious with joy but the lanky batter assured that he is in a perfect head space and balance.
