Why did KL Rahul whistle? (PC-PTI)
KL Rahul Century: When Team India is in trouble, when batsmen like Virat-Rohit do not perform, then only one player shows his strength on such occasions and that is KL Rahul. When the Indian team had lost 4 wickets for 112 runs in Rajkot ODI. When batsmen like Rohit, Gill, Virat and Iyer had made their way to the pavilion, on such an occasion KL Rahul came to the crease and scored a century. This innings of Rahul has not only become a topic of discussion but along with it his celebration has also gone viral among the people.
As soon as KL Rahul scored a century by hitting a six in Rajkot, he took off his helmet, picked up his bat and then started whistling. KL Rahul was never seen whistling like this before. The question is why did he do this this time? Actually, KL Rahul had blown the whistle for his daughter, who was born recently. Rahul remembers the same after scoring a century.
