London: dropped from the test team two years ago did hurt him but the opening of India K L Rahul said he used it as a “fuel” to make a strong comeback on the ongoing English tour.
The 29-year-old child, who made 129 good in the first inning in India a total of 364 on the second test against England here, said he did not carry the baggage of the past.
He also did not want to waste the opportunity to strengthen his place on the side.
“Dropping from a disappointing test, it hurts but I have nothing to blame but myself.
I’m just waiting for my chance, as it happened to me, I thought it was meant.
I just enjoyed my batting, get it.
100 in God made it more special , “he said.
“I don’t carry baggage, but it’s fuel, you need to get sick because it has pushed me more extra, working harder.
I have got the chance now and I don’t want to throw it away,” Rahul said in a conversation with the couple of Rohit Sharma.
Before the England tour, Rahul last played in the test in August 2019, against West Indies in Kingston.
Asked about what he had made for two years in the Wilderness exam, Rahul said he had overcome his previous mindset to always walk.
“Before I fell, I played in different conditions, in South Africa, England, Australia and even though I went around these countries for the first time, there were lots of takeaways.
I realized my mind was very messy, I felt like I had two shots for each Ball, I always think running, run and run.
“This time I told myself just playing the ball and not looking for a run.
This is a conscious effort for me.
It did not happen overnight.
When I did exercise in these two years, sit and watch other people play.
“The process remains the same as the BATSMEN runs and builds innings.
I am happy that it helped me.” He said the cricket test was something very close to his heart and he always wanted to do it well in the format.
“It’s very special.
Not because it is 100 in Lord’s.
It adds joy and joy.
I have grown want to be a test cricketer.” Generations where I grew up, my father likes crickets and coaches.
I always want me to do it well in the test, “Rahul said in a video uploaded by BCCI.
While praising the beat of Rahul, Rohit said:” That is something I’ve never seen before, the level of calm and calm whenever you hit, especially in type conditions this.
“It is a great partnership for us as a team.
Our goal is to make sure we get a victory on the board.
You certainly bring something in your game,” Rohit said that contributed a total of 83 to India.
