Sunil Gavaskar gives honest take on Rahul after India star's brilliant 102 vs Netherlands at WC: 'Finally getting to…'

Hindustan Times  

With India no longer having the luxury of all-rounder Hardik Pandya in its middle-order, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has remained keen on steering the ship for the Men In Blue at the ICC World Cup. After all-rounder Hardik was ruled out of the World Cup due to an ankle injury, Rahul became Rohit's deputy for the remainder of the tournament in India. With an already-qualified India meeting the Netherlands in its final group game, Rahul flexed his muscles on the Dutch bowlers to rewrite history at the World Cup. Rahul smashed the fastest century by an Indian at the men's One Day International World Cup.
