Rahul, the wicketkeeper-batter, has scored 302 runs at a strike rate of 141.12 in 8 matches. He has achieved two half-centuries and is looking forward to delivering another impressive performance in the upcoming match against Chennai Super Kings. Apart from IPL, he is also competing for the wicketkeeper’s spot in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States and West Indies.

Dada, the former Indian cricket captain, emphasized the importance of playing without fear and with the freedom to hit the ball during T20 cricket.
