The Indian opener, KL Rahul has come in support of his senior teammates, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane to come out of their slump in form in the ongoing second Test at Lord’s against England. In his last 10 Test innings, Pujara has scored a single half-century, looking a shadow of the player who was the architect of India’s 2019 Test series victory in Australia.

On the other hand, Rahane has now gone seven innings since his last fifty, scoring five and one in his two innings in the five-Test series. Moreover, skipper Virat Kohli has also not been at his prolific best either in the series, but he has played a decent knock of 42 runs in the first innings of the ongoing second Test at Lord’s.

At the end of the day’s play on Friday, KL Rahul said, “Pujara and Ajinkya are fabulous players and they’ve done the job for Team India every time the team was in trouble. They are world-class players. I’m sure they are hungry to go out there and score some runs and do the job for the team.”

Rahul continued his stellar 84 in the drawn Nottingham Test with a gritty knock of 129 runs at Lord’s, where India was cruising at 267-2 before the middle order caved in and they were all out for 364. KL Rahul stood firm while facing the swinging ball in English conditions was not an easy task but was optimistic Pujara and Rahane will be regaining their firm soon.

Talking about the same, KL Rahul said, “They are experienced players, they know how to come out of a couple of innings where they have not scored runs. We need to accept that in England, we’d get good balls, and we’re not going to go out and score runs in every inning and in every game.”
