It was painful when KL Rahul was dropped from the Test team two years ago. He said it was used as a fuel for a strong comeback on the ongoing England tour. 29-year-old Rahul, who scored 129 runs in the first innings of the second Test against England, said he was not thinking about the past. At the same time, they want to take full advantage of the opportunity to secure their place in the team.
Talking to teammate Rohit Sharma, Rahul said: ‘It was disappointing to be dropped from the Test team, it was painful but it was because of me. I waited for the opportunity, I thought it was just me when I had the chance. I enjoyed my batting, which became even more special with the century at Lord’s.
He said, ‘I don’t think about the past but it was the fuel, you need this pain because it inspired me to do more. I have a chance now and I don’t want to waste it. “Before the England tour, Rahul played his last Test against West Indies at Kingston in August 2019. Asked what changes he had made in the two years he was away from Test cricket, Rahul said he was able to overcome the mood of scoring with every ball.

He said, ‘Before I dropped out of the squad, I played in different conditions in South Africa, England and Australia. I was visiting these countries for the first time. I felt like my mind was not steady, I felt like I had two shots per ball, I thought about running, running and running. At this time I told myself not to play ball and go to find a run. It didn’t happen overnight. During these two years, he sat outside and watched the practice and practice of other batsmen. This is how the batsman runs and moves the innings. I’m glad this helped.

About the century in the Lord’s, Rahul said this is very special. This is not the reason for a century in the Lord’s. It promotes and enhances happiness. When he was growing up, he wanted to be a Test cricketer. My dad loves Test cricket and my coach always wanted me to do well in Test cricket. Rohit praised Rahul’s innings, saying: ‘I have never seen him play like this. That kind of patience and ease, especially when you are batting in situations like this. It’s a great partnership as a team.
