BAN vs IND 2022: Hoping to see big innings from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli – Vikram Rathour

India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour is hopeful the team’s stand-in captain KL Rahul and Virat Kohli will score a big knock in the second Test match against Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, Dhaka. Rahul had returned with scores of 22 and 23 in the first Test match at Chhatogram whereas Kohli could only manage a solitary run in the first innings.

Thus, both of these batters will want to come up with a better performance in the second Test. Meanwhile, Kohli had scored his last Test century against Bangladesh in November 2019 in the pink-ball Test match at Kolkata and he would want to end that drought.

Rathour was also seen working with Rahul in the practice sessions but refused to reveal the details.

“I’m not going to get into those discussions, these discussions keep happening, a few things he was looking at and there’s nothing to be concerned about. He (Rahul) was just working on something,” Rathour said during an interaction with the media on Wednesday.

Rathour is expecting the Dhaka pitch to be helpful for the spinners. There has been a tinge of grass left on the surface and thus India is playing with three seamers.

“You expect wickets to turn in the sub-continent, and after this we will be playing an important series against Australia where wickets are expected to turn,” Rathour said.

“So it’s good practice for us. It will be good preparation for Indian batters. We are not discussing anything tactically but looking forward to playing good cricket,” he added.

Indian batting coach revealed they will look to play according to the match situation.

“We’re expecting this one (pitch in Dhaka) to have a bit more bounce and turn than the previous one. We look to play according to the situation. We are fine whatever wicket we get. We have absolutely no issues from our side. However it plays, we have to put up as many runs as we can and put up a good score if we bat first,” he said.
