KL Rahul at the interview said that there was a difference in the pitch than that he had played a few days back, so Rahul decided to come with the right shots to win the team. He further added, by understanding his strength and weakness had him in a good flow, this also helped him face the formats in the game and had supported the Indian team performance ahead. The Indian skipper’s missed catch and an early exit disappointed the audience. The 3rd T20i match is on 29th January at Hamilton’s Seddon Park ground.
