Will work on bat speed to play on bouncy tracks: Rahul

It was during a drinks break of the Vijay Hazare Trophy match between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka on Monday that KL Rahul got the news of his selection in the Indian Test team for the tour of Australia but he said he was only concerned about winning the ongoing match at that time. ‘We were fielding when the substitute fielder came at the drinks break to inform me about my selection,’ Rahul said on Monday. ‘If I have got results this season, it was because of the hardwork put in during off-season with my coach Samuel Jayaraj. Once I am back in Bangalore, I am planning to practise against the wet tennis balls from 18 yards and also with plastic ball on concrete pitches to reduce my reaction time for strokes,’ said Rahul.
