Sanjay wants Rahul to replicate or follow Virat Kohli

Sanjay Manjrekar is someone who is straightforward with his opinions. Although he does disappoint the viewers with his comments in a few instances, Sanjay is still a good analyser of the game. He said that from whatever he has seen so far, KL Rahul’s batting impact comes down when he becomes a captain. He proved the same with examples from IPL and also his knock in the second ODI. In this regard, he opined that KL must follow Virat.

Speaking about the same on ESPN Cricinfo, he said, “So I can understand the innings but going forward, I just want to see KL Rahul [be] the guy who makes an impact with the bat. Like Virat Kohli, for example, when he became the captain didn’t lose Virat Kohli the batter who won him a lot of games. I want to see the same with KL Rahul.”
