KL Rahul Equals Virat Kohli Record: A Future Captian in Making?
KL Rahul’s captaincy now stands alongside Virat Kohli as the only Indian captains to clinch a bilateral ODI series win in South Africa. What makes it even sweeter is that India accomplished this feat despite the absence of key players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami.
It is quite an achievement, considering that the last time India won an ODI bilateral series in South Africa was in 2018 under the leadership of Virat Kohli. In that series, India emerged triumphant with a 5-1 win in the six-match ODI series. Virat Kohli, named the Man of the Tournament, showcased a blistering performance by scoring 558 runs in six matches, guiding India to its first-ever ODI series win in South Africa.
Reflecting on KL Rahul’s captaincy record in ODIs during the years 2022–2023, he has led the team in 12 matches, securing eight wins and facing four losses, attaining a commendable win percentage of 66.66%. This underlines Rahul’s impactful leadership during this period.
The recent series win not only adds another feather to India’s cap but also establishes KL Rahul as a capable captain, contributing to India’s success on the international stage.
