KL Rahul Reflects on Test Struggles and Footwork
When India toured England recently, Shubman Gill took over as the Test captain. KL Rahul openly shared his relief at being free from leadership responsibilities. This shift allowed him to concentrate purely on his batting.
Rahul discussed the challenges he faced in Test cricket, acknowledging the difficulties in maintaining consistent form. He highlighted how the art of using footwork, crucial for adapting to different bowling styles and conditions, appears to be diminishing among modern players.
"Using footwork effectively is something that has been lost over time," Rahul remarked. "It is a skill that helps in controlling the ball's line and length, and mastering it can make a player technically superior."
The focus on quick scoring and limited-overs formats, according to Rahul, has impacted the traditional techniques taught in Test cricket. He emphasized the importance of reviving this skill for future success in longer formats.
KL Rahul’s insights underline the significance of footwork as a foundational technique in Test cricket, reflecting on how modern demands have shifted focus away from this essential skill.
