Cricket News: Chris Gayle compliments KL Rahul as future of Indian batting

KL Rahul is a phenomenal talent who has the ability to emulate Virat Kohli's heady achievements if he remains in his "zone", feels none other than 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle. Rahul, 27, has overcome probably the toughest phase in his life and career which saw him endure a dismal run in the Test tour of Australia and an interim BCCI suspension for making sexist comments on a TV chat show alongside India teammate Hardik Pandya. Having put that phase behind, Rahul let his bat do the talking and alongside his Kings XI Punjab teammate Gayle, forged one of the most destructive opening combinations in the ongoing IPL.
