Cheteshwar Pujara: KL Rahul’s resurgence is a positive sign for Team India.

Indian Test specialist batsman Cheteshwar Pujara believes that KL Rahul has moved beyond the disappointing performance of the previous season with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). He said that the change in mentality is not only helping him perform better in his new IPL franchise.

Rather, he is also becoming a strong player for the national team. KL Rahul on Tuesday scored a third half -century of the session and gave his new team Delhi Capitals a stunning victory against his former franchise super giant in Lucknow by eight wickets.

Cheteshwar Pujara made a big statement about KL Rahul

Cheteshwar Pujara said on the ‘Timeout’ of ‘ESPNCricinfo’, ‘Just go ahead, don’t bear the burden of the past. And this is a good thing. Rahul is a mature player. For the last few years, he has been batting well in all formats. He said, ‘He does not want to think about the past and enjoy his batting. He does not think about what went wrong when he was playing for the LSG team.

Pujara said, ‘It is good to move forward, which will help him play well for Delhi Capitals and even the Indian team. Because in the recent past, he is such a player that seeing his batting, the Indian team also trusts him.

Rahul’s captaincy reached the playoffs twice

LSG reached the play off in 2022 and 2023 seasons under Rahul’s captaincy. However, in the last session, Lucknow’s team finished seventh. Last year, Rahul’s relationship with LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka also deteriorated. In a video that went viral on social media, Goenka was seen publicly reprimanding the former Lucknow captain after defeat. A few months later, the 33 -year -old player was released by the franchise (not retaining with him) before the big auction.
