KL Rahul revealed how observing cricket legends Rahul Dravid and Kane Williamson changed his perspective and helped him evolve as a player. Despite initial struggles adapting to big-hitting, witnessing their success inspired Rahul to stay true to his natural game, ultimately leading to significant achievements in T20 cricket.

In a candid revelation, Indian cricketer KL Rahul shared how the inspiring play of legends Rahul Dravid and Kane Williamson significantly impacted his own cricketing approach. Initially eager to prove his worth by hitting big sixes, Rahul understood the importance of playing his natural game after observing these icons.

Rahul, one of cricket's sleekest batsmen, admitted trying to mimic a style that didn't come naturally to him. "Watching Dravid during an IPL season and seeing his unwavering adherence to technique made me rethink my game," Rahul stated in an exclusive interview with Star Sports.
