kaptaan Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Steyn plays up KL Rahul, Karn Sharma Sunrisers Hyderabad seamer Dale Steyn has tipped his team-mates KL Rahul and Karn Sharma to have bright futures with India. While Karn has had a decent campaign, snaring eight wickets from 11 games, Rahul has not struck form, though Steyn believes that the wicketkeeper-batsman has "serious class" to stake a claim for a place in the national team in the future. "KL Rahul is, in my opinion, a man destined to play for India. He hasn't quite scored the runs he would have liked this year, but I've seen a few batsmen in my career and he is serious class," Steyn wrote in his column for the Times of India . "I don't believe in curses or jinxes which is why I'm happy to express my opinion about him. It may not happen this year, or even next, but I expect him to play for his country under MS Dhoni at some point. "Karn Sharma is another team-mate I'm happy to shine my spotlight on. In a country with about a million good spinners, he has something different and stands out for me, both technically and mentally. So people can keep a lookout for his name in the future, too."
rkt.india Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Rahul was never a T20 player but will good in ODI or 4-5 days cricket. HE still needs a bit more FC and A team experience along with Karun Nair.
Sachin=GOD Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Alan Donald said something similar about Dinda. Just saying.....
Pagalpanti Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Some good players coming out of Karanataka.. Nair and now Lokesh Rahul..
Old guy Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Alan Donald said something similar about Dinda. Just saying..... But this guy is class just wait for few years will definitely play tests for us
SLICKR392 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I hope so. But I'm not gonna take Steyn's or Donald's words seriously.
jusarrived Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Karun nair >KL rahul only in T20s & Marginally in ODIs in Tests though Rahul is a league above Karun if he lives up to his potential .
undisputed chap Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Even steyn knows tony is a hack in tests so much so that guy who made his debut this season is better than him. But our selectors& tony fanbois...
rajmarie Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Steyn talked up Ishant also. Ishant failed to learn. Imo it's IPL PR that Steyn is doing Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
Pagalpanti Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Steyn is modest or probably just trolling.. He said in yest' game that he's learning how to swing the ball from Bhuvy...
