KL Rahul played a vital innings in the Leeds Test, scoring a brilliant century that helped India set a challenging target for England. However, after the fourth day's play, the India batsman revealed some frustrations regarding his fluctuating role in the team.

In a candid press conference at Leeds, Rahul admitted that over the past few years, he had “forgotten his position” — a reference to his constantly changing batting order. From opening to batting at number three, five, or other positions, Rahul has had to adapt repeatedly. This uncertainty appeared to be a quiet critique of the team management’s approach to player roles.

Despite this, Rahul clarified that he accepted every role given to him and used the opportunity to push his limits. “I enjoyed those chances to the fullest,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to the team.

Rahul also acknowledged his improved form, saying that earlier he struggled to score big, but now he has learned to convert starts into significant innings. His 137 runs in the second innings of the Leeds Test exemplify this progress.

Looking ahead, Rahul called the final day of the Test a “blockbuster,” expecting an intense battle as the pitch will be more challenging. He assured that Team India will strive to apply pressure on England and push for a positive result.

Rahul’s remarks offer a glimpse into the challenges faced by top players adapting to team strategies while performing under pressure. His century in Leeds not only boosted India’s position but also showcased his resilience amid shifting roles.
