KL Rahul Having Nightmares During Lockdown?Â
Yes, you heard it right KL himself confessed that he was having Nightmares during lockdown. Wondering why? Check out the reason below.Â
As we all know IPL 2020 is around the corner and all the teams has started practicing again in the nets. They all already arrived at the UAE. In a recent interview when KL was asked what he had learned during the pandemic & what was his experience. He revealed some shocking things. KL said that he was having Nightmares during the lockdown & he used to woke up in the middle of the night because he dreamt that he had forgotten how to pick up line and length. This whole incident left Rahul completely terrified.Â
Further KL said,”Not having that chance to go to the gym or practice was frustrating,” he said. “But we adapted well. We managed to put together gyms at home. Some of us started cycling, running in the car parks of apartments. We didn’t have a choice. There were days when I was annoyed and frustrated, but I kept telling myself there were a lot of others having it much harder and tougher in life.”
This is the reason when KL Rahul walked into a cricket ground for the first time in nearly five months recently, he was overwhelmed. He couldn’t help shedding tears, but they were out of joy and gratitude at the prospect of being back after months in the cold.Â
Sportsmen across the globe have been driven indoors by the pandemic, but Rahul says it taught him to be grateful – for life and his career.
The 28-year-old is now preparing to skipper Kings XI Punjab in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League in the UAE next month. To say he is excited about his maiden IPL captaincy role would be an understatement. He is also looking forward to working with former India skipper Anil Kumble, who heads cricket operations for the Punjab-based franchise.
