Moeen Ali acknowledged the historic show of captain Shubman Gill with the bat in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, but didn't pick him as India's best Test batter; instead, he went with KL Rahul.
Over the years, Rahul started off very well in several series, but as it progressed, his form also went down. Questions were raised over his ability to score runs consistently, and he faced a lot of criticism.
In five innings, KL Rahul scored 532 runs at an average of 53.20. He smashed two centuries and two fifties on the tour, taking the responsibility of being a senior very well.
I genuinely believe that he’s one of the best players in the world - Moeen Ali
Speaking on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, Moeen Ali lauded Shubman Gill but said that KL Rahul is a superior batter to the India skipper.
“I think people don’t realise how good someone like KL Rahul is, particularly in opening the batting. He was brilliant last series as well in England, and he is brilliant again this series. I actually think Shubman scored the most runs and was outstanding, but I thought KL’s role within the side was probably the best I have seen him play over the years.
He looks really good in defence, in attack - Adil Rashid
Moeen Ali’s podcast co-host, Adil Rashid, was on the same page as his former teammate regarding KL Rahul. Adil Rashid said that Rahul doesn't get the credit he deserves, and he is a class player.
"That was his game in order. He looked very comfortable and his game was in order. And that’s the first time you have probably seen that over a period of five games where he consistently looked right. This guy looks classy. He looks really good in defence, in attack,” Rashid said.
