That was another day in KL Rahul’s life. He was supposed to wear the white jersey in the second test match against South Africa. He had already scored a brilliant century in the first Test where India went on to win. And now that it was decided that he would take the field under Kohli with a 2-0 lead, the captain himself came to him and delivered a piece of news that would change his demeanor. The captain said that his back is not good, in such a situation the vice-captain will have to captain.
“Like everyone else, it came as a big surprise to me. I was the vice-captain. As the vice-captain, you slowly build yourself up to become the captain in due course. But then I didn’t expect That it would come to me so soon and in such circumstances: On the morning of the game, Virat (Kohli) came up to me on the bus and said, ‘My back is not hurting, you may have to captain the team,'” Rahul said in a chat at the Red Bull Cricket Room organized by the clubhouse.
He said that he didn’t shake it at all because whenever he wears the white jersey for India, captain or not, he always gets into the ‘mindset’. “It didn’t let me down or change my mindset much. We all, in some form or the other, when we play the game we are our own captains and in our heads we are playing the position like a captain Huh. “
He said that he feels very fortunate that he was among the very few who got the opportunity to lead the country. However, India lost the match and also lost the third test match under the leadership of Virat Kohli. This meant that India would lose the three-match series 1–2 which they had hoped to win 3–0.
“When ‘C’ comes up in the team list, it feels new and it’s something you’re proud of. It’s an honor that not many people get and it’s something you’ve always dreamed of.” Let’s see and I was very happy, very grateful,” concluded KL Rahul.
