IPL 2026: Great To See Rahul Become Vice-captain Again, Has Put In Real Shift Around T20 Strike Rate, Says Bell
Assistant Coach Ian Bell: Delhi Capitals assistant coach Ian Bell hailed KL Rahul’s influence on and off the field, adding that he was delighted to see him become the vice-captain of the Indian Test team again and that his efforts to bring a real shift in his T20 strike-rate have paid off.
Rahul is DC’s leading run-getter with 533 runs in 13 games at an average of 44.42 and a strike-rate of 171.93. Recently, Rahul replaced Rishabh Pant as India’s vice-captain in Tests for the one-off game against Afghanistan, to be played in New Chandigarh on June 6.
“Firstly, it’s great to see him become vice-captain again for India. I think the hard work he’s put in through this. I disagree with that comment. I think you look at his strike rates this year, he’s put in a real shift. You’re absolutely right in saying that he’s a massively important player for us and for India as well.
