Previous India all-rounder and batting mentor Sanjay Bangar commended KL Rahul for his endeavors in IPL 2020. Drawing correlations with Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman AB de Villiers, Bangar named KXIP commander Rahul the Indian Mr 360 for his capacity to have shots to pretty much every impact of the ground.
“Everyone calls AB de Villiers Mr 360, I’d like to say KL Rahul is India’s 360,” Sanjay Bangar said to a news media organization.
KL Rahul has been in a fabulous structure in IPL 2020. Rahul pummeled an unbeaten 132 against RCB, which is the most elevated score by an Indian and furthermore the most elevated score by a chief in IPL.
Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have been without any help driving KXIP's batting unit, to such an extent that in the event that they don't fire, KXIP doesn’t verge on dominating a game. Like it occurred in their last match against Mumbai Indians. Pursuing 192 for triumph, KXIP could just oversee 143 for 8 in their 20 overs in spite of an energetic beginning gave by openers Rahul and Mayank.
Mayank took the orange top from Rahul after their match against MI. Mayank presently has 246 runs in 4 matches at ana normal of 61.50 and a striking pace of 166.21. Rahul is second on the rundown with 239 runs in the same number of matches at a normal of 79.66 and a striking pace of 148.44. Them two have scored hundreds of years in the competition up until this point.
“Until and unless that orange cap stays with Kings XI I’m happy. He’s (Agarwal) worked very hard and deserves that cap. I’m sure I’ll take it off him soon,” said Rahul.
Mayank, however, said they are not in any sort of competition with each other. “We are not competing for the cap, we are just looking to play some good cricket. It doesn’t matter who gets the runs, be it Rahul, Pooran, or anyone else. Runs in the international circuit have given me a lot of confidence. In the lockdown, I sat down and looked at how things will work in the T20 template. The thought is just about getting into great positions.”
