On a pitch where most struggled early on, Rahul stood tall, showing incredible patience and control. In the interview after the match, he was honest, humble, and full of emotion.

“I just wanted to stay out there as long as I could,” Rahul said with a laugh. “Conditions were tough early on, but I knew if I got through the first hour, things would get easier.” And that’s exactly what he did. He left the ball beautifully, waited for the right moments, and when the time came, unleashed his trademark cover drives.
