Rahul has played 61 matches since the Test debut in 2014. But only 20 of these played in India.
In the five -match Test series against England, Indian team veteran opener KL Rahul has impressed everyone with his technique. In almost every innings played in the series, Rahul has stood as a wall in front of the new ball. This has been the reason that the Indian team’s middle order has performed brilliantly in the current series.
Rahul has scored 375 runs in 6 innings of the series at an average of 62.50. He is the player who is batting in the only top-3 among the six batters scoring the most runs in the series. It is not just about this series. Rahul has been India’s most trusted batsman abroad in the recent years of 33 years. This can be gauged from the fact that 9 out of 10 centuries of his Test career are on foreign land.
However, at present, Rahul’s career average is only 35.26, which does not match at all with his performance. Currently, Rahul has the lowest average among the top-6 Indian batter. However, it will be extremely difficult to guess their contribution only from the average as their bat runs in matches where most of the batteries fail.
This is the reason that despite a very general career average, he is the most trusted batsman in the team. But in the meantime it is also necessary to understand why Rahul, who has been playing for India for more than a decade, is so low? Let’s know about its reasons …
More matches abroad than home ground Rahul has played 61 matches since the Test debut in 2014. But only 20 of these played in India. Other batters score runs under domestic conditions, but they have scored just 1149 runs in 32 innings at an average of 39.62. During this time, only one century has come out of his bat. At the same time, he has scored 2483 runs in 41 matches played abroad.
Better performance against big teams Rahul scored most of the runs, ie England, Australia and D. Made against Africa. He has scored 1330 runs and 894 runs in 16–16 Tests against England and Australia. In contrast, he has very few runs against weak teams like West Indies (374), Sri Lanka (354), Bangladesh (175) and Afghanistan (54).
Conversion rate low, 2 times 150+ score Rahul’s rate of converting half -century into a century is low. Career has 18 half -centuries and 10 centuries. In the year 2017, records against Australia and Sri Lanka were not able to convert 7 consecutive half -centuries into a century. There is not a single double century in career. Only twice Rahul has been able to cross the figure of one hundred and fifty. In this series too, he has not been able to make both his century innings bigger.
Due to poor form and injury, the team continued to fall inside and out Rahul’s not being able to play much matches and continuously from the team due to injuries including poor form has also been a big reason for the low average. Since Rahul’s debut, the Indian team has played more than 10 matches in the last 10 years. But Rahul played more than 10 Tests in his career only once a year. During this time, many matches were missed due to poor form and injury.
Rahul got the responsibility of team’s leading batter for the first time by Rohit-Virat’s retirement For the first time, Rahul has been playing as the second or third major batter of the team in the team’s responsibility of the team’s leading batter for the retirement of Virat-Rohit. Rahul could not perform his ability among veteran batsmen like Kohli and Rohit. But after the retirement of both the veterans, Rahul is now the lead and most experienced batter of the team. Rahul has also played this responsibility well in the current series. He has scored more than one century in a series for the first time in his career.
