6 Reasons why India have started to win on unresponsive pitches

Advent of KL Rahul

KL Rahul provides a solid option at the top

KL Rahul made his Test debut for India in the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the MCG in 2014. Since then, he has grown from strength to strength, slamming four centuries and nine half-centuries with an average of 46.27.

He has a tremendous hunger for runs and can play every shot in the book. More importantly, his game is a right blend of attack and defense. He respects the good deliveries and punishes the bad ones.

His prolific run-making has stabilised his spot at the top and has provided the team with some excellent starts, even after losing the toss. When he gets a good start, he usually converts that into a big score, thereby helping the team to get a big total.
