However, in Test cricket, he was struggling to score so much that he failed to grab the easiest of chances even against a weakened Windies line-up at home. He struggled through all the overseas tour in red-ball cricket, and almost lived a double-life as a white-ball player, bagging a massive 11-crore IPL contract, and ending up as Punjab's best batsman in the 2018 season of the tournament. After a run-glut in the 2016/17 seasons, Rahul had a poor 2018 in Test cricket, as he got his first exposure to the moving ball on the surfaces of South Africa, Australia and England. However, with age on his side, Rahul can work on his nerves and with an all-conditions' technique to go with it, he is an exciting prospect for India's long and challenging overseas season and he would like to reinforce his spot as a long-term option for India as a premier Test opener. Rahul does need to work a tad more on his nerves, though, after his tame dismissal on 199 in Chennai further reinforced his image as a timorous player. With an ideal mentor in Rahul Dravid, KL Rahul shares more than his first name with the Indian legend the dogged resistance, the compact, airtight technique, and the unimpeachable focus at the crease are all common factors between the two batting technicians. He went on to make a heart-breaking 199 in Chennai his current highest score in Test cricket.

The young right-hander got a chance to play his first home Test, but a series of injuries and recurrences managed to keep him going in and out of the playing XI until the Chennai Test against England in late 2017 when he made a full recovery. It was then that Rahul showed his versatility across formats, bursting forth with a hundred each on ODI and T20I debut, after a fine run in the IPL for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rahul was selected in the limited-overs squads to Zimbabwe and West Indies in mid-2016. However, he continued to have anxious starts and got the reputation of an 'all-or-nothing' player. He showed his tendency to convert starts, making his first three fifty-plus scores count, and going on to score a hundred each time. This hundred gave Rahul some momentum, and he went on to make hundreds in Sri Lanka and West Indies on away tours, making the opening combination a dilemma for the Indian selectors. He had a dramatic redemption in Sydney as he stroked his way to a patient century, proving that he belongs in the national side вЂ“ to himself, more than anyone else. With the series already lost, and in a manifestation of compassion for Rahul's nervous jitters, the selectors and the captain decided to give Rahul a go at his usual opening spot in the Sydney Test. The prospect of a debut on a momentous occasion like the Boxing Day at the MCG against the world's chirpiest team seemed to throw Rahul off his game, as he crumbled under pressure and lost his wicket to two shots unbecoming (to say the least) of a Test player. He was left out of the squad for the succeeding season, but he returned for the 2012-13 season, in which he had a prolific run of form, becoming the highest run-getter of the season, propelling himself into contention for the highest honour of them all вЂ“ an India Test cap. Rahul rose through the ranks of Under-19 cricket and broke into the Karnataka first-class side and had a decent debut season in 2010-11.

Having started off with batting on the grass-less field of the college, Rahul's parents spotted a spark in him and decided that he must receive formal training in order to realize his talents. He finished his schooling in NITK and grew to develop keen interest in cricket. Hailing from a background of high academic standards, KL Rahul was born and brought up in the prestigious National Institute of Technology, Karnataka, where his father is a professor in the department of Civil Engineering.
