World Cup 2019: Analysing the weaknesses of Indian batsmen

KL Rahul

KL Rahul's stylish batting will come to the fore

KL Rahul has all the shots in the world and apart from his stylish batting, also has the temperament to stitch together a big score, as exhibited with his much-needed century against Bangladesh in the warm-up.

His failure can be attributed to the fact that he is naturally an opener. His exploits in Australia suggest that he likes the ball that is hard and comes nicely onto the bat early on in his innings. But when the ball gets old and turns, he finds it hard to get settled. Another issue he has is that fact that he fetches the ball outside off too much when he is low on confidence.

There is no doubt that KL Rahul is a talented batsman and he has shown a great deal of maturity in IPL, but he opened the innings there. How he will handle the number four position is still to be seen.
