We Have A Common Goal In The Dressing Room: KL Rahul

KL Rahul has responded to challenges in a sublime manner thus far. From being a floater, who would open the innings or bat in the middle order, to keeping wickets. The 27-year-old has placed a bid for himself. India won the T20I series by a 5-0 margin and Rahul said the team plays with a common goal.

“Playing with each other we are enjoying a lot for the last 2-3 years and we help each other out. There is no senior-junior in the dressing room, we have a common goal and that is to win together for the country and the team,” said Rahul at the post match press conference.

This is the third time that an Indian team has whitewashed the opposition in an away T20I series. They beat the West Indies 3-0 in 2019 and got the better of Australia in 2016. Rahul scored a total of 224 runs in five games. He along with Rohit Sharma provided quick-fire starts for India.

“Travelling away and winning a series 5-0 doesn’t happen too often. So the next couple of days we will enjoy that, put our feet up and relax. Obviously we have the confidence going into the ODIs, we have been doing well for the past couple of years. Recent form for 3-4 months has been great too, personally as well as a team we have been doing well.” Rahul pointed.

India will now meet New Zealand in a 3-match ODI series, starting on February 5. Rahul said the team will follow the same process in the 50-over format as well. He added that the players will put their heads down after a cracker of a series and get rejuvenated for the upcoming task.

“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.”
