Robin Uthappa recalls KL Rahul being offended by his batting advice

Robin Uthappa recently recounted a past interaction with KL Rahul during their time as Karnataka teammates. Uthappa had advised the younger batter to focus on developing his power-hitting skills, noting that Rahul struggled to clear the boundary at the time.

Rahul later admitted that the critique initially frustrated him, though he eventually used the feedback to evolve his game and improve his strike rate. Uthappa highlighted that Rahul's early IPL career saw him maintain a modest strike rate, which notably increased after his 2016 stint with the Delhi Capitals.

The veteran praised Rahul for successfully bridging the gap between his traditional technical foundation and the demands of modern cricket.
