TIL Desk Sports/ Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels KL Rahul should play responsibly being an experienced player of the side. While five different Indian batsmen notched up their respective half-centuries against Cricket Australia XI in the warm-up game here on Thursday, Rahul failed to make a significant contribution after falling for just three runs.
“He (Rahul) is not a young player anymore and he is on his second tour here. He has played 30 Tests and he has a responsibility. We expect him to play with that responsibility and play his role for the team,” Bangar told reporters here. “He (Rahul) has been looking in good shape, including today.
It is just that he is finding new ways to get out. Even today, the ball was quite afar when he played it away from his body and lost his wicket. But what we are reading he is playing the ball well and he is one hit away (from form),” the batting coach expressed. “We know his ability and if he converts that to performances then it is important for the team.”
