We were happy to come into this series with confidence and to keep executing our skills every game. We came up with answers from every situation and it is a great result for me and the side. 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

Further, Rahul revealed that he isn’t looking at the T20 World Cup at the moment but want to come up with match-winning performances in the upcoming ODI games.

The Karnataka batsman also lauded the effort of the whole team, who isn’t letting it out easily for the opposition.

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.

All in all, it was a brilliant series for Rahul. The flamboyant batsman will now look to repeat the stuff in the upcoming ODI series as well.
