If there is one biggest takeaway India had in the just-concluded five-match T20I series against New Zealand, that's KL Rahul's form and consistency. For the same, Rahul was awarded 'Man of the Series' after India whitewashed New Zealand on Sunday.
After the series, Rahul spoke about how he spent a lot of time with Kane Williamson while playing for IPL franchise SunRisers Hyderabad back in 2014-15.
“I have spent a lot of time with Kane during 2014, 2015 when I was with Sunrisers and he was with Sunrisers. I spent a lot of time talking to him about batting. I thought we have similar styles of batting, I learnt a lot by watching him bat,” Rahul said.
However, Rahul hoped that the Kiwi skipper did not have a telling say over the upcoming ODI series or even in the IPL.
“It’s a treat to watch him bat. It’s a treat to watch but hopefully, in the next 3 ODIs we don’t want to be treated to Kane’s innings. Hopefully, he can save it not even for IPL because he is against me. Any other series is fine.” he further said.
