<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSenior Indian batter KL Rahul <\/a>addressed discussions about his Test average, which has been under scrutiny in recent years. After 63 Tests, his average stands at 35.41\u2014below the expectations many have for a player of his talent. While he has excelled on overseas tours, his home record has often been inconsistent. Frequent changes in his batting position affected his numbers, but Rahul has now returned to the opening spot, where his Test career began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The return to the top of the order has coincided with a purple patch in his career, especially after assuming the role of India\u2019s senior-most player in the Test setup following Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli\u2019s retirements. On the England tour, he amassed 532 runs in 10 innings at an average of 53.20, including two centuries and two fifties, with a highest score of 137. He carried this momentum into the ongoing Test series against the West Indies, scoring a fine century in the first innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rahul shared his approach to criticism over his Test numbers, emphasising that he focuses on enjoying his cricket and executing his game plans rather than obsessing over statistics. \u201cI don\u2019t let it bother me, but it\u2019s not that I don\u2019t see it. Obviously I see it, and ideally any batter would want their numbers to be as high as possible. But right now, it\u2019s more important for me to make sure my game plans are tight and that I am enjoying my cricket. Those are the boxes I want to tick more than thinking about numbers. When I do these things well, the runs and numbers naturally follow<\/a>,\u201d Rahul explained on JioHotstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 33-year-old shared his approach to managing expectations and pressure, explaining that he focuses on the basics he can control and takes things step by step, leaving the rest to fate rather than getting overwhelmed by numbers or outside opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “So it’s important to take it step by step and not go to step three first and forget the first two steps. Of course, there are expectations and pressure because cricket is a numbers game at the end of the day. But I try to focus on the simpler things I can control as much as possible and leave the rest up to God,<\/a>” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KL Rahul addressed criticism of his Test average, emphasizing that he values enjoying cricket and executing his game plans over focusing on statistics.
