India vs South Africa Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: ‘Man of crisis’
India vs South Africa Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: KL Rahul's batting position in ODI cricket was such that he would be coming in when the team would be under pressure.

Batting coach Vikram Rathour was all praise for him. "He's certainly going to be a man of crisis for us I think," Rathour said at the press conference post the day's play. "Every time there are tough situations and most of the times he's there. He's the guy who handles those situations really well."
