**Sydney, Australia** – Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has attributed KL Rahul’s impressive performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to his unwavering stillness at the crease. While other Indian batsmen have struggled against the Australian pace attack, Rahul has amassed over 200 runs, proving a reliable anchor for the team.

Speaking to India Today, Gavaskar highlighted Rahul’s exceptional head position as key to his success. “He is very still at the crease,” Gavaskar explained. “His head is upright, and that’s the reason why he is able to judge where the off-stump is, and leave those deliveries. That is so essential when the ball is new and the bowlers are on top.” Gavaskar emphasized the importance of patience in the initial stages of an innings, suggesting Rahul’s disciplined approach allows him to dominate later.

Rahul’s innings in the current match was further aided by a dropped catch by Steve Smith, giving him a second chance to build on his strong start. He capitalized on this opportunity, ultimately reaching a crucial fifty and boosting India’s chances of avoiding the follow-on. His performance stands in stark contrast to the struggles faced by other Indian batsmen, making his technique a point of focus for analysis and potential emulation.
