KL Rahul reveals bowler he finds toughest to face in nets
Mohammed Shami is currently the leading wicket-taker for India in ICC events.
The Indian team has given great performances during the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 so far and has made it to the semi-finals of the tournament with all their stars giving great performances in the first two games of the tournament winning the games against Bangladesh and rivals Pakistan convincingly.
Though the people witnessed the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill scoring runs, there is one player who has also been making vital contributions. KL Rahul has been great behind the stumps and also played an important knock against Bangladesh to see the team through to the finishing line. The talented wicketkeeper-batter recently spoke on a segment of 25 questions by ESPNcricinfo where he revealed some trivial facts about himself. One of the secrets he revealed was about one bowler who he hates facing in the nets.
While some might think that the 32-year-old would take the name of Jasprit Bumrah. Instead, the 2023 ODI World Cup finalist revealed it to be Mohammed Shami who is also leading the bowling attack in the tournament as well. Shami had a great start to the tournament, where he took a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh. Shami is also the highest Indian wicket-taker in ICC tournaments with 74 wickets to his name, followed by legendary left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan.
