Ian Botham was famously asked "who writes your scripts" ... the same could be said of Ben Stokes ... the ball after news of his retirement was broken to the ground
๐จ KL RAHUL'S ODI CONSISTENCY IS SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED
KL Rahul's last 12 ODI innings:
40(29)
41*(47)
23(29)
42*(34)
34*(33)
11(15)
60(56)
66*(43)
29*(21)
112*(92)
1(6)
39*(19)
What stands out isn't just the runs โ it's the impact.
Time and again, Rahul has come in during the middle overs, stabilized the innings when needed, and accelerated when the situation demanded it.
โ 10 scores of 20+ in his last 12 innings
โ Multiple unbeaten finishes
โ A century and two fifties
โ Consistently scoring at a high strike rate
While discussions often revolve around other big names, KL Rahul quietly keeps delivering for India in ODI cricket.
Whether batting at No. 4, No. 5, or as a wicketkeeper-batter, he has become one of India's most reliable players in the format.
KL Rahul continues to be one of the pillars of India's ODI batting lineup.
- 100 average in Tests.
- 181 average, 131.2 strike rate in ODIs.
- 45.62 average, 174.4 strike rate in IPL.
KL RAHUL IS BOSSING IN ALL THREE FORMATS IN 2026 - WHAT A PLAYER. ๐โโ๏ธ
KL Rahul's career ODI average is 50.9!!!
At number 5, he averages 62 with his strike rate being 99.26!!
If anyone even dares question KL's place in this side or his status as a genuinely brilliant ODI bat, they have no understanding of cricket to begin with.
