Sanjay Manjrekar lauds KL Rahul after his fifty in Kanpur Test

New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar applauded middle-order batter KL Rahul following his brilliant performance on the fourth day of the second and final Test match of the series at Green Park in Kanpur on Monday.

Rahul’s Explosive Knock
Rahul played a magnificent knock of 68 runs in just 43 balls, which included seven boundaries and two sixes in his innings.

Outstanding Strike Rate
The right-handed batter scored these runs at an impressive strike rate of 158.14.

Manjrekar’s Analysis of Rahul’s Form
"What you see with KL Rahul, in the two innings that he's looked really good and relaxed, they have been innings where he's been asked to bat quickly—where India had to score runs quickly. That actually seems to help KL Rahul free up his mind," Manjrekar commented while speaking on ESPNcricinfo.

Rahul’s Freedom Helps Him Excel
Manjrekar noted that when Rahul is given the license to play with a single agenda, it brings out the best in him. "You just see the class of KL Rahul—the shots that he plays," he added.

Best Reverse-Sweeper in India
Praising Rahul’s technique, Manjrekar declared, "He must be the best reverse-sweeper that India has got. Loved his commitment to the team cause," the 59-year-old senior player remarked.
