God bless&quot;Captaincy isn’t something that’s ever plagued him&quot; - LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes on KL RahulLSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes recently opined that captaincy pressure has not weighed down KL Rahul and negatively affected his batting.Rahul has been one of the most prolific batters in the IPL since 2018. He has scored over 600 runs across four seasons (2022, 2021, 2020, 2018) and had a tally of 593 runs in 2019. He led PBKS for two seasons and then joined new franchise LSG as their skipper last season.Rahul has not been able to recreate the same level of form this season. Across five games, he has scored only 155 runs, with 74 against PBKS in the LSG's latest match being his highest score.At a recent post-match press conference, Rhodes shed light on KL Rahul's batting form, saying:“The captain is someone who likes to lead from the front. He has always been a successful, dominating batter in all the IPLs. Captaincy isn’t something that’s ever plagued him. Many great batters when given captaincy don’t quite handle it. He’s led from the front and I think it’s great to see that.”He added:“When the captain’s scoring runs, the way that he plays he lays a really good platform for others to play around them. We always knew that he was just one knock away. He’s been batting in the nets superbly. He’s not the kind of player anybody worries about because we always know it’s literally one innings away.”LSG will next face the Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday, April 19, in Jaipur.
