The perfect moment for him to improve is now. Former South African cricketer Kobus Olivier on KL Rahul’s resurgence. KL Rahul now had two fifty-point performances in as many outings.
Due to his recent poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2022, KL Rahul, the opening batsman for Team India, was the topic of considerable conjecture. Rahul made a point to pick up well and seems to be hitting the ball pretty fine despite the campaign’s poor start.
The right-two hander’s consecutive half century against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have given team India and personally a significant lift going into the semifinals. The batter’s form has arrived at the “perfect time,” according to former South Africa international Kobus Olivier.

“He is a class player. He was always going to come good in this tournament and he has come good at the right time. In his last innings, he scored a fifty against Bangladesh, he has got it at the right time and is peaking for the semi-finals,”

He provides SKY with a platform: Olivier, Kobus
In the game against Zimbabwe, Rahul was able to score 51 runs, while against Bangladesh, he scored 50 runs. The batter’s form has steadily begun to improve, and he has the potential to be a deadly bat in the lineup. Additionally, according to Kobus, if the batter gets going, he can provide the perfect environment for Suryakumar Yadav to blow up.
“I think he will be one of the batters that England bowler will work upon. The English bowling attack is phenomenal, they are one of the better bowling attacks with the pace. But they will definitely be going to sit down before Thursday and work out a strategy to get him off early. Because if he gets going, he sets a platform for SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) to come in and play the kind of shots he plays. So, Rahul has found form at the right time, a class player!”
he added.
