Delhi: Indian team’s star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul dismissed the rumors about injury in the team before the crucial match against New Zealand. Some media reports were claiming that captain Rohit Sharma is suffering from hamstring injury and he could be rested in the last match of the group stage. However, Rahul made it clear in the press conference on Friday that no player in the team is injured.
In the press conference, Rahul said, “We are fully prepared to face the challenges. We came here a week ago and are continuously practicing so that we can mold ourselves in these circumstances. The role of batsmen is important, especially what is set, they should play a long innings. With this we can add 35-40 runs additional, which can create a big difference in the match. ”
Rahul also said that his team is not taking any opposition team lightly. He said, “This is my first Champions Trophy and for me it is no less than a dream. This is a challenging tournament like a World Cup, where it is necessary to perform well against every team. ”
The right -handed batter further said, “If you do not start well, it becomes difficult to return to the tournament. The New Zealand team has always been competitive and their performance in the ICC tournament is excellent. We are going to get a tough competition. “
