Shreyas Iyer heaps praise on K L Rahul

The newly-appointed Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain added that Rahul anticipates the situations of the match very well and that helps other players to adjust their game accordingly.

It was nice to play under him. Firstly, he is an outstanding player. The confidence he carries on the field and in the team meetings, the support that he provides to the players is great. He’s got a very calm demeanour and his on-field decision-making is very instinctive. I really enjoyed playing under him, Iyer said on Red Bull Cricket Room on Clubhouse.

Iyer, 27, who is yet to take a wicket in international matches, said that he loves Rahul as a captain because he gave him an opportunity to bowl in the 3rd ODI against South Africa in Cape Town. The off-spinner went for 21 runs in his 3 overs.

Also, he gave me three overs of bowling, which none of the captains previously had done. So yeah, he’s my favourite captain! he added.

Meanwhile, Indian quick Navdeep Saini is eager to observe Trent Boult go about his business and pick the New Zealand pace spearhead’s brain in a bid to improve his game during his stint with the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL this season.

One of the fastest bowlers in the country currently, Saini will be an important cog in the Royals’ newly forged fast bowling line-up alongside Boult.

I am most looking forward to connecting with Trent Boult during the IPL. He is someone who has achieved so much in both international and IPL cricket, and it’ll be a great experience to just speak to him about various aspects of fast bowling, Saini was quoted as saying in a release.

I’ll be most focused on observing him go about his business, and hopefully that should also help in improving my own game, added Saini, who has 17 wickets in the IPL at an economy of 8.47.
