In 2016, India faced West Indies in the first T20I if the 3-match series in Miami. Batting first, West Indies posted a huge total of 245/6 in their quota of 20 overs. Chasing the target, KL Rahul played a scintillating knock of 110 runs off 51 deliveries. He formed a partnership of 107 runs in 49 deliveries with MS Dhoni for the 4th wicket. The partnership took India within the touching distance of a memorable victory. India needed 8 runs in the final over but somehow the pair failed and India succumbed to a heartbreaking loss by 1 run. Dwayne Bravo had the responsibility to defend 2 runs on the final delivery of the game with MS Dhoni on strike. However, Dhoni could not middle the ball properly and gave an easy catch to Marlon Samuels at the third-man. KL Rahul remained unbeaten scoring 12 boundaries and 5 maximums in his innings.
Rahul speaks about handling mental pressure –
The Indian superstar also talked about the mental challenges and hurdles one has to face. He spoke about tough times and how every tough phase is different from the another. KL Rahul also said that it is all about keeping things simple and a positive mindset.
Each challenge is different and there is no one set pattern to come out of tough times. For me it's been about going through the tough phases and keeping things simple. It's also about having a mindset that I can overcome any difficulty which comes my way and focussing on myself. https://t.co/NxH5zCYOqo
