Hemang Badani KL Rahul, head coach of Delhi Capitals, has fallen on Rahul Rahul. Revealing this in an interview, he praised the star batsman fiercely and he also told what Rahul told him about the tour of England during the IPL.
Let me tell you that KL Rahul became a father in March. March 24, his wife Athiya Shetty gave birth to a daughter. In May, veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket. R Ashwin had already said goodbye to cricket. In front of India was an important tour, England tour. 5 Test match series. In the absence of veterans, KL Rahul became one of the most senior players of the team. The responsibility increased. Expectations increased. He did not even disappoint. A century in the first Test against England. Guided the young captain Shubman Gill on important occasions. He also fulfilled his duty to be senior.
But was it all so easy. If a player has become a father, he wants to kiss little steps. He wants to spend time with his wife to live that moment at such a time. But Hemung Badani is proud of the decision taken by KL Rahul.
Badani said in an interview to Times of India that, I liked it very much that he is a person who said that, I want to go to England soon. I want to play side games there. He scored a century, he forgets, he came later. What is the intention, it matters. The intention to reach there early, fully prepared, be with the team. Do not forget that he has become a new father and do not think that his child can travel with him right now. So asked him that the country is above my child. It is a very big thing. It is a big decision.
Badani said that, he could easily say that I would not play any side game. I will reach for a direct Test match. But he did not do so. KL Rahul also played an Intra-Squad match between India and India A in England.
