Death-overs dominance highlights Rahul’s growing ODI value

Rajkot, Jan 14 (UNI) KL Rahul’s true value in One-Day Internationals is increasingly being felt in the final phase of an innings, and his unbeaten century against New Zealand on Wednesday was another reminder of how decisive he has become when the pressure peaks. Rahul finished with an unhurried 112 not out to bring up his eighth ODI hundred at the Niranjan Shah Stadium here, once again taking control when it mattered most. The milestone arrived in emphatic fashion as Kyle Jamieson strayed onto Rahul’s pads with a full toss, which the right-hander calmly stepped across to dispatch over long-on for six.
