'Always a big fan': Trent Boult picks KL Rahul as batter to watch in NZ Tests
Trent Boult, the former New Zealand bowler, predicts a tough challenge for India in the upcoming Test series. He highlighted KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal as key players to keep an eye on. With cold temperatures and green pitches in play, the Indian side will face a significant test against a New Zealand bowling unit known for its pace and swing.
Former Kiwi fast bowler Trent Boult has singled out KL Rahul as a batter to watch during India's upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand, set to commence on November 19. Boult, speaking to PTI, remarked that Rahul's batting style and positioning at the top of the Indian order make him a significant player for the team.
The New Zealand tour, which also includes 12 matches across all formats, begins on October 22 and is crucial for India, as they aim to secure a strong result to remain competitive for the World Test Championship final. Alongside Rahul, Indian opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal has also caught Boult's attention. Boult anticipates that the colder weather of late October and November could present unique challenges for the Indian team, but he remains optimistic about the pitch conditions retaining their grass, which could aid the home attack.
