I am batting really well now and I am happy to do the roles I am doing for my side,” Rahul said in the presentation ceremony.

The process will remain the same – KL Rahul

We’ll relax a little bit over the next couple of days and enjoy the victory. But once we start with the next series, the process will remain the same. We want to win games of cricket every time we go out. The kind of cricket we are playing is fun to watch and we hope to keep repeating this,” he further added.
