Former West Indies captain Brian Lara shared the name of his favourite player and he is none other than India batsman KL Rahul. Lara, who is in India to participate in the Road Safety World Series, has shared that he loves to watch KL Rahul’s batting.

“India, with the fact that they produce so much international cricketers through their league has enhanced every single player who plays for India. I mean KL Rahul is my favourite player in the world, I love watching him,” he said.

“His technique and grace is just unbelievable. Of course, up there in the top three you’ve got Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma but every time I see him (Rahul) facing a delivery, I just love it; his head is over the ball all the time, he has a technique that I wish I had,” he added.

KL Rahul was the highest run-scorer in the T20I series against New Zealand and also the second-highest run-scorer in the three-match ODI series. However, he was dropped out from the est squad.

“He’s got the technique. I don’t know why he’s not in the squad. New Zealand was a tough series for India. KL Rahul has the technique for all forms of the game and for me more Test cricket than anything else. And if he performs so well in T20s and the 50-overs game, I think Test cricket is really where he’s made for,” Brian Lara added about Rahul.

“There are a lot of good players around the world. Virat Kohli is someone I have great respect for. Rohit Sharma is a gun and I love to see him bat, I mean five classy centuries in the World Cup was just tremendous. In the West Indies, I like Nicholas Pooran,” the batting great, Brian Lara again shared about India captain and vice captain.
