KL Rahul opens up about his mindset behind record knock vs PBKS
Rahul added that he trusts his basics, and he just stayed with his natural game for most of his innings against the PBKS. Rahul told the broadcasters, as quoted by Cricbuzz during the innings break, “I think for the first 70-80 runs, I wasn't really premeditating. I was just in a mindset to hit boundaries and put pressure on the bowlers.”
The DC star added, “My strength is always to play proper cricket shots, and I was trying to back that and try and believe that that's good enough to get my team past 250, and I continued to do that. Only at the back end was I premeditating, and when the field is set, when the bowlers go to the wide off-field or a spinner field, you know kind of what to expect.”
