As KL Rahul's unbeaten knock of 75 runs helped Team India secure a win against Australia in their 1st ODI on Friday, one of the most unexpected praise the 30-year-old received was from former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad.
The 53-year-old took to his Twitter account to praise Rahul and said “Excellent composure under pressure and a brilliant innings by KL Rahul. Top knock. Great support by Ravindra Jadeja and a good win for India.”
Venkatesh Prasad was one of the most vocal critics of KL Rahul recently who was not too happy with Rahul's inclusion in the squad after a string of poor performances by him and had also said that his selection in the squad was due to favouritism.
