Watson feels KL Rahul needs to put the pressure back on

Team India's star opener KL Rahul is going through a rough time throughout his international cricket comeback after experiencing a groin injury. In the recent T20 World Cup, Rahul had a discrepant performance on the side, scoring 128 runs in six innings with a strike rate of nearly 120. Rahul is facing a lot of criticism from fans and cricketers.

“The thing I'd say, just specifically to KL Rahul - he's at his best when he's just taking the game on. Not trying to just rotate strike or being a bit more defensive,” Australian veteran Watson recently commented. “When he's batting purely on instinct and putting a lot of pressure on the bowler, because he's just got every shot in the book - wherever they bowl it, he can just hit that ball for a six or a boundary. When KL's a little bit more defensive in his mind, that's when, like all batters, you're a lot more susceptible to being exposed.”
