IND vs NZ Final: He is the key man in the indian batting line-up..!?

KL rahul is going to be the backbone of the indian team in the final match of the 2025 Champions Trophy series. But some are saying that he should be removed from the indian team. Currently, rahul is batting at number six in the batting order. KL rahul, who was once an opener, is currently playing at number six for the team's needs and is also scoring runs there. So far, he has batted in three innings in the 2025 Champions Trophy series and has scored 106 runs. He has been not out twice in them. His strike rate is 96.36. This is a good strike rate on the very slow dubai pitch. Moreover, KL rahul will come out to bat only after the indian team has lost four wickets. He is batting in a difficult situation where even if one more wicket falls, the indian team's run-scoring rate and batting will face a huge decline.
Even so, it is noteworthy that he has scored runs. So far, KL rahul has given an excellent performance for the indian team. He has the best batting average against the new zealand team in ODIs. His batting average in ODIs against the new zealand team is 58.8. His strike rate is 106.52. He also has a batting average of 43.57 when playing as an opener in ODIs, 55.8 when playing in the fourth order, 56.48 when batting in the fifth order, and 40 when batting in the sixth order. Not only that, his batting average in an important international cricket series is astonishing. His batting average in World Cups is 58.07. His batting average in the Asia Cup is 58. His batting average so far is 106, playing in the Champions Trophy for the first time. It is also painful that criticism arises from time to time that his batting is not good despite playing so well. KL rahul can definitely be expected to play a key role in the final match against New Zealand.
