He can become a good finisher in IPL, Says Sunil Gavaskar
KL Rahul opens the innings alongside Quinton de Kock for LSG. The former Indian skipper feels that the right-handed batsman has a variety of strokes in his kitty. As per him, Rahul can smash the bowlers all across the park in death overs as well. This is one big reason why he can go on to become one of the best finishers in IPL.
“KL Rahul is such an integral part of any team. He opens the batting and gets to bat 20 overs and sets the pace for his team. I believe he has the ability to be the finisher as well,” said Sunil Gavaskar on Star Sports’ Cricket Live.
“He’s not just somebody who can begin the innings and get the team off to a good start. He has all the shots in the book to finish it off as well. So if he gets going till the 15th-16th over, then LSG can post 200-plus on the board,” Gavaskar added.
KL Rahul has done a great job as a batsman for his respective franchise in the past years. Talking about KL Rahul’s stats, he has scored 3313 runs in 96 games. with the help of 27 fifties and 2 hundred at an average of 46.66.
