KL Rahul recently stated that he has been striving to improve his strike-rate and now has more clarity regarding the role that has been defined for him and others \u201cin the previous 10-12 months\u201d after being announced as the opener for the upcoming T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\">\u201cYes, it is something that I am working on,\u201d Rahul said on his strike-rate on the eve of the\u00a0first T20I against Australia\u00a0in Mohali. \u201cObviously 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\u2019s working towards it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"cb-nws-dtl-itms\">\u201cNo one is perfect. No one in the dressing room is perfect. Everyone\u2019s working towards something, everyone has a certain role to do. Obviously, strike-rates are taken on an overall basis. You\u2019ll 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\u2019s why when you look at it, it looks slow.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the run-up to the T20I series against Australia, India captain Rohit Sharma declared that the team was clear on\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":27523,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3059,3374,608],"class_list":["post-4509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-aus","tag-ind","tag-kl-rahul"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
