Kotak highlighted Rahul’s composure under pressure, noting his calm demeanor at the crease and his knack for rotating the strike, hitting boundaries, and accelerating when needed. The coach emphasized that Rahul’s experience and versatility make him indispensable, as he consistently delivers when called upon, a trait that has not gone unnoticed in the ongoing series.
