What did KL Rahul say after scoring a century?

 

After the fourth day's play of the first Test against England, KL Rahul said,

 

When the Test started, I felt that it was a batting-friendly wicket and it would lead to a draw. But the wicket is changing, there is wear and tear on it. The cracks should open tomorrow. When asked what happens to Pant when he plays strange shots, Rahul said that just keeps quiet. I have played some partnerships with him but it is difficult for us to understand his mindset. But you should let him keep batting like that. You should talk to him, keep him calm. - KL Rahul

 

Talking about his batting, he said that not much has changed for me, just now I am scoring runs. I used to not be able to score big in the beginning earlier. But now a lot of things have changed. I am calm and do not pay attention to the numbers. I have spent a lot of time with Abhishek Nair.

 

He also said,

 

In the last few years, I have forgotten what my position is and what I am comfortable doing. I am happy to have different responsibilities and roles. It makes the game exciting and motivates me to challenge myself and work hard. I have enjoyed doing this. - KL Rahul

 

Rahul further said that whenever I get a chance to play for the country, I want to do my best. It is great to get opportunities again and again. Talking about the final day, he said that tomorrow the results will be out, and it will be an interesting day. The wicket is not as easy as the first innings. We will try to create as much pressure as possible.
