One of England's finest legends and former skipper, David Gower, was high on praise for current Indian opener KL Rahul. Speaking during the ongoing fourth Test between England and India, Gower admitted to being a fan of Rahul.

David Gower's Valuable Praise For KL Rahul

David Gower was arguably one of the finest ever left-handed batters to come from England. While being one of the classiest players, Gower is in admiration of Indian batter KL Rahul.

Speaking to PTI during the ongoing fourth Test between England and India at Old Trafford in Manchester, Gower admitted that watching Rahul bat is so pleasing to the eye, as he is just so organised.

“I've been a fan of KL’s for a long time. Again, easy on the eye… he's very together—that’s not a very good word really, but you know, he's very organised. He's got time. We always say all the way through the history of the game: if someone seems to have time to play shots, be they attacking or defensive, you'd say well, that's a sign of a good player,”

Furthermore, he straightway admitted that he is a KL Rahul fan as runs come from his bat in a very pleasing manner.

“So, yeah, I'm a Rahul fan because I think he makes his runs in a very pleasing way.”

Even though he failed to score a half-century, the right-hander scored a pleasing 46 off 98 deliveries with four boundaries as he helped India post 358 runs on the board, as he has been consistently scoring runs. Whereas Gower during his time scored 8,231 runs from 117 matches, while being a huge admirer of Test cricket.

KL Rahul's Wonderful Returns Against England

The ongoing series between India and England has seen KL Rahul as one of the finest batters with 421 runs so far, coming off seven innings at an average of 60.14, while batting at a strike rate of 54.82, where he has managed a highest score of 137 in this series.

Despite the fact that India are not in a dominant position, with England moving ahead with 597 on the board after the end of 147 overs, with skipper Ben Stokes batting on 106*.
