Rahul has faced criticism of late for his strike rate and the stylish batsman believes it is difficult to maintain the same pace during the same innings.
Rahul, who batted at a strike rate of 122.22 during the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates, said, “It is something every player (strike-rate) works for. No one is perfect. Everyone works for something or the other.” doing.”
Although Rahul’s career T20I strike-rate exceeds 140 in 61 games, it is mainly because he makes it during the back-10s of an innings.
“The strike-rate is taken on an aggregate basis,” he said and gave his reasoning behind the argument.
“You never see whether a batsman has played at a certain strike-rate (across). Was it important for him to play at a strike-rate of 200 or whether the team could still win with the batsman at 100 or 120. “These things are not always analyzed. So when you look (overall), it looks slow,” Rahul said.
But Rahul is working on his strike rate.
“It’s something I’ve been working on. Obviously, goals have been defined for each player over the last 10-12 months. Everyone has a clear understanding of what is expected of him. I’m just going in this direction.” I am working on how I can improve myself as an opener,” the India vice-captain said ahead of the first T20 against Australia.
Rahul returned from ODIs in Zimbabwe after recovering from a sports hernia.
“I feel good about my game. It was very important to get some games after the injury. Going to Zimbabwe was very important. Playing at home would be fun, it’s been a while for me.”
“The team environment allows players to learn from their mistakes”
Rahul is happy to be part of a dressing room that gives players a chance to learn from their mistakes.
“The most important thing for a player in the room is what the captain and the coach and teammates think of him and we know what is expected of each person. Everyone is giving the best every time the player is successful. trying to.
“We’ve created an environment where players aren’t afraid to fail or make mistakes. Even if mistakes do happen that’s what we do. We work hard for it.”
There will be criticism but what this Indian team believes is self-criticism.
“Everyone gets criticized but we criticize ourselves the most. We are playing for the country and it hurts us the most when we don’t do well,” he said.
Karthik or Pant? depends on the conditions
On the Dinesh Karthik vs Rishabh Pant debate, Rahul said: “It depends what kind of combination we are going with that day. It depends on the surface and which teams we play against, that’s an easy decision.” They are both high quality players and both have different roles.”
Different mistakes made in different events
India would like to finalize their combination for the T20 World Cup with six home matches against Australia and South Africa. Rahul said that the team has yet to play to its full potential.
“Skill wise our performance was only 80-85 per cent. We are still not excellent in batting or bowling or fielding. There are some things which we need to fix.
“You can win big events only when it’s all done well and the team comes together to win the championship.”
In last year’s T20 World Cup and this year’s Asia Cup, the mistakes made were different.
“What happened in the Asia Cup and the 2021 World Cup (both being out early), we made different mistakes in those two events. We are very clear about what went wrong and we are trying to learn from it,” he said. Huh.”
