The stylish opening batsman KL Rahul has been out of touch off late after having a good test series against Sri Lanka. Veda, who is a dear friend of Rahul feels that he will come back stronger against the Aussies and perform well. She also mentioned that the opener has done exceptionally well in whatever opportunities he has got.
“Just nail and don’t let the Aussies come on top,” the hard-hitting batter concluded.
