“He might be the most trolled player this year”- Aakash Chopra heaps praises on KL Rahul’s after his century in IND vs NED 2023 World Cup.

Aakash Chopra has expressed admiration for KL Rahul’s outstanding performance in India’s 2023 World Cup league-stage match against the Netherlands on Sunday. Rahul’s remarkable innings of 102 runs off 64 deliveries contributed significantly to India setting a formidable 411-run target for the Dutch in Bengaluru. The Indian team went on to secure a commanding 160-run victory after dismissing Scott Edwards and his teammates for 250.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra commended Rahul for silencing his critics and showcased appreciation for the batsman’s remarkable achievement.

Chopra said Rahul might be the most trolled player this year but he batted extremely well. If I see as a neutral observer, he is the guy who can open in all three formats, used to do it as well, and can do it if you ask him to do it now also.”

Drawing a parallel to the selflessness of Rahul Dravid, Chopra noted that the Karnataka player has displayed a similar dedication on the field, saying

“However, he doesn’t get to open, although everyone wants to play in the top three in this format. The team needs him at No. 5 because others can’t play at No. 5 and he can. He is not a keeper as well but has become one. I think there is something in the name, if you are Rahul you need to do selfless service for the team.”

Furthermore, Chopra extended congratulations to Rahul for achieving his maiden century in the ongoing World Cup “He scored 100 runs in 62 balls. Hearty congratulations to him firstly because he missed one in the first match but it happpened here. I am not at all obsessed but our game is slightly obsessed and our country is extremely obsessed with milestones.”
