Rahul Dravid- KL Rahul (Source: Twitter)KL Rahul, the right-handed Indian batter, has struggled to get going in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup, scoring only 22 runs in three games. The batter has scored 4, 9, and 9 in the three matches he has played so far in the tournament. It is no surprise that the biggest questions surround Rahul's form heading into the match against Bangladesh on Wednesday at the Adelaide Oval.
On Tuesday, head coach Rahul Dravid held a press conference and discussed Rahul's form as well as the conversations he has been having with the batter. He believes that something needs to click for the batter to get going.
"I think he is a fantastic player, he has a proven track record. I think he has been batting superbly. These things can happen in T20Is, it has not been that easy for top-order batters. This tournament has been challenging, I think he was brilliant in the practice games against the likes of Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc. He got 60 or 70. I am hoping that it all clicks together in the next few games," said Dravid.
"We know his quality and ability, he is very well suited for these conditions. He has got a good all-round game and he has a very good backfoot game which is required in these conditions. We are happy with the way he has been hitting it," he added.
He knows he has our support: Rahul Dravid
When asked about the nature of his conversations with Rahul, Dravid stated: "We have a lot of conversations with players, it is hard to reveal exact details. Rest assured, both in words and in action, over the last year, he knows he has our support. There has been a lot of clarity on what our side is going to be in this tournament and we have not wavered from that. We play a lot of cricket, you might see different players playing in different situations."
"There have been injuries and including him, he has had phases where he has been injured. I think it has been great with captain Rohit Sharma that he has shown faith and belief in players," he added.
