Veteran India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul shared his wisdom and experience with a group of young cricketers during Team India’s training session in Vadodara after India's four-wicket win against New Zealand in the first ODI of three match series.
KL Rahul's advice for budding cricketers
The BCCI took their 'X' to share a clip where KL Rahul, dressed in Team India’s training kit, was seen answering questions from the budding players. One youngster asked Rahul what to do in a situation when chances are hard to come by, to which the senior batter responded by motivating him to keep working hard and stay ready for opportunities.
"You will definitely get a chance to show your talent, whether it’s in a domestic, international, or local tournament. You just have to work hard and be ready when your opportunity comes, and grab it with both your hands. As a cricketer, it’s the only thing we can do," Rahul said in the video.
"It’s a difficult phase for everyone when we do not get a chance, but everyone has to go through that phase. No one can stay at the top forever. There will be anger and frustration, but try to snap out of it and do what is in your control, and leave the rest to God. Whenever God gives you a chance, use it wisely," he added.
