India has already taken a 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against Australia. Under the leadership of the team's acting captain KL Rahul, India defeated the Kangaroo team by 99 runs through DLS method in the second ODI. KL Rahul, playing the captaincy innings, played an innings of 51 runs.
After winning the match, KL Rahul discussed his return to fitness. Assessed the ongoing challenge in Australia. KL Rahul reveals how he plans to deal with people requesting for World Cup tickets, and reveals his World Cup aspiration.
On the question of fitness, KL Rahul said, "Everyone has seen me playing in the Asia Cup, I have played all the matches in the Super Four. I kept behind the wicket, batted and also scored runs, so I think this "That's my answer to those who were worried about my fitness. Hopefully, I'm fully fit for the World Cup."
On opening the batting and batting at No. 4 or 5, Rahul said, "All my life I have batted as an opener. There is no pressure of falling wickets or the required run rate, but when you bat in the middle order, there is no pressure. When you bat, you have the situation in front of you and then you need to act accordingly. That's the only big difference."
In the 2011 World Cup final, MS Dhoni led India to victory by hitting a six. At that time I was in Bengaluru and was watching the game with some friends. I remember when we lost two wickets early we all thought the game was over. Later, when we won, we drove to the busiest area of Bengaluru and there was such a scene, everyone was jumping and celebrating. It was a proud moment for all of us Indians and hopefully we can recreate it for the people of our country."
