There were some concerns about KL Rahul's fitness ahead of the Asia Cup 2023. Given that the stylish batter has been out of action since the IPL 2023, many questioned his selection just before the crucial ODI World Cup 2023. However, it all vanished on Monday (September 11), during India's Asia Cup Super Four match against Pakistan.

Pakistan dealt a major blow ahead of the resumption with Haris Rauf taking a precautionary break. To cover his remaining five overs, Iftikhar Ahmed had to round his arms. 

Rahul took full advantage of it, smashing Iftikhar's flighted delivery outside the off stump for a wonderful six. The wicket-keeper batter shuffled across the line and got under the slog sweep to send it behind square leg for a maximum.


On the next ball, Rahul punished Iftikhar again. He made some room and picked up Iftikhar’s quicker delivery perfectly to play a glorious cut shot for four.

At the time of writing, India are on a roll, with Kohli batting on 57* alongside Rahul, who has reached 72 with the help of seven fours and two sixes. The Men in Blue have posted 251/2 at the end of 40 overs.
