NEW DELHI: India's stand-in skipper KL Rahul, who is leading the team in the first two ODIs of the ongoing three-match series against Australia, shed light on the nuances of batting as an opener versus batting in the middle order. Rahul's insights came after he delivered a match-winning performance with a half-century, batting at No.4, in India's first ODI victory over Australia, taking the hosts to a 1-0 series lead.
Rahul, who has predominantly opened the innings in his career, emphasised the significant disparity between the two roles.
