🚨 KL Rahul: "Sanjiv Goenka's constant questions mentally drained me."🚨
KL Rahul: What I found hardest as an IPL captain was the sheer number of meetings, reviews, and explanations required at the ownership level. It was mentally exhausting. By the end of an IPL season, I felt more mentally and physically drained than after playing 10 months of international cricket. You're constantly being asked why you made certain decisions, why a player was picked, or why the team underperformed. In international cricket, you're answerable to coaches and selectors who understand the game's nuances. No matter what you do or how many boxes you tick, nothing in sport guarantees victory. That's the hardest part to explain to people from a non-sporting background, who often expect every decision to have a guaranteed outcome.
