Aakash Chopra says “He could be the highest run-scorer” in T20 World Cup 2021. He has predicted that KL Rahul could end up. Also, as the leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup 2021. Rahul was impressed in both the warm-up matches. Ahead of their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign. Rahul spanked 51 off 24 against England and scored 39 off 31 against Australia.
“The way he is batting, he could very well be the highest run-scorer of the tournament. He is in such good nick. If India goes the distance, KL Rahul is likely to play a huge role in it,” Chopra said.
Chopra pointed out that Rahul bats a lot more freedom for India. Also, compared to his IPL outfit Punjab Kings. Just because he has the license to go out and hit in national team colors.

“The way Rahul bats for India is quite different from the way he does for Punjab Kings. This is because when he plays for India, there is both insurance and assurance. The insurance is that he is not alone and there were many others who can keep hitting even if he gets out. There is Rohit and Kohli and, later in the order, there is SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) as well as Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya,” Chopra said.
Lastly, team India will begin their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign by taking on Pakistan in Dubai. According to Pakistan batting consultant Matthew Hayden, the in-form Rahul will be a major threat for Babar Azam’s team in the mega clash.
“I sense that KL Rahul is a major threat to Pakistan. His dominance in the shorter format is good. Someone like Rishabh Pant, with a cheeky smile and his brash nature and beautiful vision for the game, is a destroyer,” Chopra said.
