The star of Pakistan slams the very slow World Cup Finals knock on KL Rahul
In the finals of the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia, KL Rahul was a top scorer for India. He scored 66 runs on 177 balls, which consisted of £13. This slow nature of Rahul's innings came under question, and the counterpoint to that is the fact that there were regular dismissals at the other end. So his innings have been a topic of discussion since the time India lost the final to Australia in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Former Pakistan cricket team pacer Mohammad Amir has said that the innings of KL Rahul put pressure on Virat Kohli, the only other half-centurion for India against Australia in the final.
Mohammad Amir said, “There were three turning points when you already knew that the wicket was slow. When Shubman Gill got out, Virat Kohli came in and started with three fours. The strike rate was 100-plus. Rohit Sharma also started hitting. He hit a six-and-four off Glenn Maxwell and then got out. When you know that the next batter will struggle, you are the captain.”
"Then I couldn't understand; for reasons I don't know, KL Rahul played a very slow innings. He built the pressure on Kohli. Rahul is not a player who plays slowly. He plays with a good strike. Waha pe kaam kharaab ho gaya."
