Watching Dravid, Williamson, I realized I didn't need to try so hard": KL Rahul

KL Rahul believes that watching the batting techniques of Rahul Dravid and Kane Williamson helped him curb his tendency to overexert.

While speaking to the Grade Cricketer podcast, Rahul revealed how the contrasting techniques of Dravid and Williamson influenced his batting approach.

Rahul said, "There was a time when I got out trying to play big shots, and that's when I realized I didn't need to try too hard. I needed to bat like Rahul Dravid or Kane Williamson."

KL Rahul credits Rahul Dravid and Kane Williamson for instilling in him the importance of discipline and patience at the crease.

Rahul highlighted the importance of learning from the greats of the game and adapting their techniques to suit one's own style.

He stated, "I started to watch a lot of Dravid's videos and Williamson's videos. I realized that they never try to hit the ball too hard. They just time the ball, and the ball goes to the boundary."

Rahul's focus on timing and placement has been instrumental in his success as an international cricketer.

Rahul's ability to find gaps and rotate the strike consistently makes him an invaluable asset to the Indian team.

He believes that aspiring batters should focus on developing a solid technique and trusting their instincts rather than relying solely on power.

Rahul's journey serves as a reminder of the value of adaptability and the importance of learning from the best in the business to achieve success in the competitive world of cricket.
