Delhi Capital (DC) suffered a big defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) despite an incredible century KL RahulWho took around 200 teams in the first innings, even after a slow start at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. It also made capital opportunities difficult in the playoffs.
Rahul scored 112 runs in just 65 delivery, maintaining an unprecedented strike rate of 172.30. Although it was an incredible innings by a 33 -year -old batsman, he was very criticized once again about how he went to his innings initially. However, former Australian all -rounder and IPL coaches Tom Moody The 2025 Champions Trophy was against negative criticism towards the winner and explained how other batsmen should have supported Rahul to get 200+ total.
“I always find the criticism around KL Rahul quite extraordinary. I think he is a much better player, who credits him than many people. And the way I look at this innings, I think it is an excellent innings. And yes, to see if he wins the game, what he wins, he is for the match, but I see him, but I see him, but I have seen him and I only watched him. Was on [batting-friendly] The surface, you want the effect, ”the two -time World Cup winner said on Espncricinfo.
“When you have found a person who is anchoring, it is building a total, when you come in the game you have a role – 30 off ten balls, those types of innings, which suddenly takes you to 220. Instead of pointing the finger on the same person, I think this is another way,” Moody said.
This is not a personal game: Tom Moody
Moody supported his statement, mentioning that the game of cricket is not a personal game, and said that there should have been better communication between the batsmen batting with him. Moody also mentioned that Rahul had faced low delivery in the mid -stage, due to which he was lost a little rhythm in the innings.
“The team had an opportunity to deliver it to 220. The team did not do so, it is not a personal game. It is a team's game. And it is the place where communication is coming around and communication when you are out from: 'Okay, we need to target two borders at the beginning of this over; let's make it a big', that type of conversations said.
“For me, they just put a little useless in the middle [period]And also, we have got to recognize KL Rahul, I believe, only four have to face [six] Balls in the period of four overs in the middle of it. So, so, you know, he also lost his rhythm, ”Moody concluded.
