I Guess That’s What This Time Is Teaching All Of Us:
In the fifth episode of’ The Mind Behind ‘India’s star player KL Rahul got up close and personal with TV host and commentator Suhail Chandhok. Stylish Red Bull athlete, K.L.Rahul shared in this fifth episode of’ The Mind Behind ‘how he spends time in the lockdown, his experience playing for RCB, and his formative years in the cricket sector, where he will pick to fight for his life and much more.
Speaking about how he spends his time in the midst of a lockdown, Rahul said: “I am in Bangalore, with my family. We’re healthy and safe. In terms of training and keeping busy, I’m just trying to do everything I can. I haven’t really been or didn’t get to a point where it’s uncomfortable, I’m hanging in there!
But well, it’s pretty good to spend time at home and I know that when we were playing (the team) for so long, we all were wanting a break, so now that we have such a big break, we’re like we don’t want a big break like this.
“I think that’s what all of us are taught this period; the essential stuff in life, the value of staying safe, and spending family time. After a long, long time, I got to spend my birthday with my family, so that felt very good.
‘It still haunts us sometimes’: KL Rahul
Asked whether he should change the match, Rahul said: “It must be a semi-final of the World Cup. I don’t believe any of us is through the suffering yet, occasionally it still haunts us. I can’t imagine what senior players would have thought, but you know it’s only getting tougher in a World Cup when you realize we’ve done so well in the competition. Oh, occasionally, you always wake me up to the nightmare!”
Asked if he had to pick one cricketer to bat for his career, Rahul said: “I’ll go with Virat (Kohli) because I know, everyone knows he is a fantastic player. We share a wonderful bond and he would give it all to save my life.” Going back to his formative years, Rahul was asked to explain his exact moment when he achieved a magnificent 100 in Sydney.
“I think innings, that series just changed the way I looked at myself. The confidence I learned from coming back too soon and on an international level. Where, you know, every player has a vision. I found that if I set my attention to it. You know, there is stuff I can do that I never felt I could. So that innings brought me a lot of confidence. It really changed who I was like as a common man and a cricketer.
Commenting on social media about how it impacts his family, sister, or parents and other things: “I guess that’s when you get the most influenced. And as players when you see where your family gets injured, that is when you start responding or when you start feeling terrible.
So still, I’m sure people would remember by the end of the day, we’re humans too. We’re doing hard, we’re doing the utmost, we’re getting sleepless nights, running for eight hours, ten hours a day, being away from the family occasionally, and, you know, going through all.
