KL Rahul strikes again as he took the Indian cricket team to yet another victory in the just-concluded second T20I match against New Zealand by 7 wickets in Eden Park, New Zealand. The Indian cricket team is now leading the five-match T20I series against New Zealand by 2-0.
Before the match started, Kane Williamson opted to bat first asking the Indian cricket team to do what they are best at — chasing the target.
However, the Indian cricket team had a terrible start to their innings as India lost its captain and vice-captain in quick successions. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul tried giving a good start to the game but Rohit Sharma was dismissed after scoring only 8 runs. Following his footsteps, Virat Kohli also failed to perform today and went back to pavilion after scoring only 11 runs.

But KL Rahul made sure to not let the pressure affect his game. KL Rahul continued with his brilliant form and smashed the bowlers to all the corners of the ground. He scored 57 runs in 50 balls, where he smashed 3 fours and 2 sixes.
KL Rahul has impressed one and all with his impeccable form lately. The cricketer has been giving back to back brilliant performances. The young cricketer who replaced Rishabh PantBesides making an impact with his impeccable batting performances in different positions, KL Rahul took the glovework quite brilliantly as well.

Back to back fifty from KL Rahul, he can play at a SR of 200 when the required rate is 12 and can also play at 120 SR when there’s need of good partnership in a slow game! Exceptional batting.
