“Yes, it is something that I am working on,” Rahul said on his strike-rate on the eve of the first T20I against Australia in Mohali. “Obviously with the roles that have been defined for each player in the last 10-12 months, you know very clearly and the player understands what is expected out of them and everyone’s working towards it.
“No one is perfect. No one in the dressing room is perfect. Everyone’s working towards something, everyone has a certain role to do. Obviously, strike-rates are taken on an overall basis. You’ll never see when that batsman has played at a certain strike-rate, whether it was important for him to play at a 200-strike rate, or whether the team could have still won playing at a 100-120 strike rate. So these are things that not everybody analyses. That’s why when you look at it, it looks slow.”
