KL Rahul has been the best batsman in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. The right-handed batsman is the leading run-scorer in the league and has played match-winning knocks for his IPL franchise.
He was the star of the match against Mumbai Indians where Kings XI Punjab defeated the rivals in an unprecedented Super Over Clash at the Dubai International Stadium.
Former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar has lauded KL Rahul for his performance in the cash-rich league. According to him, Bangalore water is behind his success in the tournament.
“It’s the Bangalore water. Bangalore has produced so many world-class sportspersons. Not just in cricket, but across sports. Prakash Padukone – he is my all-time favourite Indian sportsperson. Gundappa Viswanath, Erapalli Prasanna, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid. Bangalore has produced so many world-class athletes. So it’s possibly the Bangalore water,” Gavaskar told Star Sports ahead of KXIP vs MI match in the IPL.
