ICC World Cup 2023: India was in big trouble against Australia on Sunday as we lost our top order early, but then two batsmen- Virat Kohli and KL Rahul came to the rescue and played in a magical partnership to lead India to victory. Virat Kohli has always been the champion of the team, but for KL Rahul this is more than just good batting. The batter is recovering from a bad form and only the Indian cricket fans know the value of his century in the Asia Cup 2023.

After smashing a wonderful 97* against Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 opener, KL Rahul opened up about his tough phase and said the period when he was facing criticism on social media was very painful. "There was a lot of criticism. People were commenting something or the other on every match or thing.

I could not understand why it was coming and from where it was coming, because my performance was not that bad. It was a very painful period for me," KL Rahul said in an interview with Star Sports. Exciting news! Mint is now on WhatsApp Channels.

The phase was tough and 2022 has not been a very great year for his batting and the injury could have prevented him from playing for India in 2023. "Then I got injured during the IPL.

When I got to know that I would be out of competitive cricket for 4-5 months and playing the WC was not a certainty, it was difficult for me. I have gone through a lot of injuries and surgeries during my career in India. I know the pain and process of coming back from it and how difficult it is.
