The current Indian vice captain KL Rahul got a crucial piece of advice from the former New Zealand batsman Scott Styris, regarding his start of run making in international cricket after a long break he took due to the back injury. Rahul captained the Indian team in the recently concluded one day international series against Zimbabwe, but in all three games he didn’t score any significant knock which could be a matter of concern for the Indian team.
So on this crucial issue the New Zealand legend Scott Styris gave his opinion while giving a short interview to sports 18, “First of all, with regards to KL Rahul, I wouldn’t be worried either. I’d be worried if he’d be facing 5-10 balls each innings is most important for him, but the last one in particular – 46 deliveries I think it was.

“If that’s the case, it means that time in the middle is coming and that means that he will become more and more fluent, game time in the middle? Far more valuable than the nets. So, I expect he’ll be ready to go against Pakistan. Now, for that one? I’m with you though, I think he’s going to go okay”.

Further he gave an update about Shaheen Afridi, “The reason is for that is no Shaheen Afridi, we know that he’s out injured, the way he attacks the stumps that is the way you get KL Rahul out. LBW and bowled. The fact that the main man who exposes that weakness is not there. I think KL Rahul has got an opportunity to be the star still, that we know he is because as Saba rightly pointed out, the pedigree is there,”.
