India's 2019 World Cup squad members: Where are they now?
Just a month ahead of the 2023 World Cup, it’s time to know about the players who helped Team India reach the semi-final in the 2019 edition of the distinguished ODI tournament.
4. KL Rahul
KL Rahul’s role was to provide strength to India’s batting unit in the previous World Cup. With Dhawan’s presence in the first two games, he was given the task to bat in the middle-order. Following the left-handed batter’s injury, he became the opening partner of vice-captain Rohit for the remaining games.
Appearing in nine matches in the competition, he scored 361 runs with a ton and a couple of fifties. In India’s seven-wicket win against Sri Lanka, he played a match-winning innings of 111 off 118. After the 2019 World Cup, Rahul has gone through a lot of struggle. The right-handed batter has failed to be impactful against quality sides in the last few years.
Along with that, he has also choked in big games which makes him a favourite target of his critics and social media trollers. However, captain Rohit Sharma hasn’t lost faith in Rahul and now the 31-year-old batter will be a crucial part of India’s 2023 World Cup campaign.
