As India prepares for the ODI series against South Africa, KL Rahul, leading the team, acknowledged the team’s ongoing struggles against spin bowling. He stated that there is no ‘definitive answer’ readily available, but emphasized that the players are actively seeking solutions. The recent Test series performance underscored this issue, prompting introspection within the squad. Rahul expressed a commitment to understanding technical adjustments and drawing lessons from experienced players. He cautioned against expecting immediate results, describing the improvement as a continuous effort. Discussing his own batting, Rahul clarified that his concern was with the execution of his defense rather than the decision to play defensively in a challenging phase of the Test match. He is keen to ensure the Test series’ negative outcome does not affect their ODI approach, pointing to the distinct demands of each format and the team’s aim to build momentum in ODIs.
