IND vs AUS: KL Rahul's redemption with his faster batting..!!

india and australia clashed in the 2025 Champions Trophy. In this match, a target of 265 runs was set for the indian team. With 4 wickets falling during the chase, KL rahul came out to bat. Will he play a turtle-like game like he played against australia in the 2023 world cup final? The fans were afraid. Even the Australian team did not consider him a big threat. But rahul stayed till the end and led the indian team to victory from where virat kohli left. He hit a six in the last over to complete the team's victory. He also became a surprise by becoming the player with the highest strike rate in the indian team. When the indian team batted first in the 2023 world cup final, KL rahul was the highest run-scorer in the team. He had scored 66 runs.
But in that final match, KL Rahul's strike rate was 61.68. That is, he had scored 66 runs in 107 balls. While the indian team scored only 240 runs in 50 overs, Rahul's turtle-like pace was the main reason for that. Rahul's poor batting was also the reason for the indian team's defeat in that match. When the indian team faced the same Australian team in the Champions Trophy, KL rahul and virat kohli played together as before. When virat kohli lost the match by adding 84 runs, the indian team was close to victory. Before that, rahul had increased his batting speed. So the fans were relieved.
When kohli was dismissed, the indian team was in a position to win if they scored one run per ball. hardik pandya hit sixes on one side. But Pandya lost the game by scoring 28 runs before the indian team could win. On the other hand, rahul played responsibly and stayed until the end without losing the game ensuring the team's victory. The indian team won by four wickets. KL rahul had scored 42 runs in 34 balls. He had hit two fours and two sixes. His strike rate was 123.53.

He was currently playing at a strike rate that was twice as high as his strike rate in the 2023 world cup final. Fans are praising KL rahul, pointing to this. Team india has advanced to the final of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
