Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul shared valuable life lessons with a group of young cricketers during Team India’s training session in Vadodara ahead of the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand.
In a video shared by the BCCI on their social media platforms, the senior batter was seen interacting with aspiring players. Answering a question about dealing with limited chances, Rahul said, “You will definitely get a chance to show your talent, whether it’s in a domestic, international, or local tournament. You just have to work hard and be ready when your opportunity comes, and grab it with both your hands. As a cricketer, it’s the only thing we can do.”
Rahul further spoke about the emotional challenges players face during tough phases. “It’s a difficult phase for everyone when we do not get a chance, but everyone has to go through that phase. No one can stay at the top forever. There will be anger and frustration, but try to snap out of it and do what is in your control, and leave the rest to God. Whenever God gives you a chance, use it wisely,” Rahul said.
In the first match of the ongoing series, he played an impactful knock of 29* runs off just 21 balls in Vadodara on January 11. His knock included two boundaries and one maximum at a strike rate of 138.09, which helped India secure a four-wicket win. The second ODI will be played in Rajkot on January 14.
