India’s stand-in skipper KL Rahul hit a half-century as India won their final Super 4s fixture against Afghanistan to end their Asia Cup 2022 campaign with a win. Alongside KL Rahul, Virat Kohli broke his jinx and registered his 71st international century after a wait of 1020 days.
“Coming back after a big injury and surgery, I have realised playing the last few games it is not as easy as you think. I was eager to come and play but obviously finding the same touch or same rhythm wasn’t coming easily as I thought it would. It is a learning for me as a player, happy I could spend some time in the middle and I started feeling good. In this format when you hit the first six off the middle gives you the confidence, I think the Hong Kong game I got a free-hit and though I didn’t time it as well I could, I still hit the ball out of the ground and it felt good,” Rahul said.

“Coming into the Pakistan game I felt little better and getting few shots away gave me the confidence, I am slowly getting into rhythm,” he said.
