“They Don’t Give Me Enough Credit”: KL Rahul’s Tongue-In-Cheek DRS Remark | Cricket News

Wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul, who returned to type scoring the quickest century for India in a World Cup, was a relieved man on Sunday, having spent a while within the center earlier than the large semi-final towards New Zealand. Rahul took 62 balls to smash the quickest century for India in a World Cup to higher skipper Rohit Sharma’s file (63 balls vs Afghanistan) as India posted a large 410 for 4 towards the Netherlands of their final group stage match. “Not gotten a lot of time (in the middle) in the last two games, so it was nice to get some time today,” Rahul, who ended up with 102 off 64 balls, mentioned within the mid-innings break. “Batting at No 5, it’s important to get that confidence, it was a good knock. Getting that confidence to hit sixes towards the end was important,” he mentioned.

It was a well timed knock for Rahul, his first fifty-plus rating in eight innings coming simply earlier than the knock-out stage.

Rahul went berserk hitting 4 sixes and 11 fours as India racked up 122 runs within the final 10 overs for his or her second highest World Cup whole.

“It’s not rocket science, got to go hard in the last 10 overs. Tried to get as many runs as possible, that was the plan, the ball gets softer, so hitting sixes at the back end becomes difficult.

“It’s simply not this recreation, everybody has a transparent recreation plan, now we have been executing it (our plans) fairly nicely,” he said.

No DRS credit

Rahul has also been solid behind the stumps, and also has made a difference with his DRS judgements.

It was in their match against Sri Lanka, Rahul’s sharp judgment behind the stumps had earned them the prized-scalp of Dushmantha Chameera for a duck.

Chameera had a faintest of touch as no fielder seemed to have appealed but Rahul after taking the catch was sure of an edge and convinced his skipper to take the DRS.

“Wicketkeeping will get troublesome typically, however I take pleasure in being concerned within the recreation, the bowlers have challenged me throughout DRS calls, however they do not give me sufficient credit score (on DRS calls),” he said.
