“You might be out for two months but they haven’t forgotten what you have done for the team and the country in the last two-three years Players actually thrive in such an environment. It is this kind of environment that can help a player transform from being a good player to a great player, playing a lot more match-winning innings for his team. It gives you so much confidence that your mindset is clear and you can focus on the things that are necessary. It becomes easy for players that your support group is backing you,” Rahul said ahead of the series as quoted by PTI

Rahul has had his share of injuries recently and so India have tried different opening combinations in T20Is. Also, his absence, opened opportunities for youngsters like Deepak Hooda and so with his return competition for a spot in the team becomes more intense. Rahul has had his share of injuries recently and the recent surgery after being detected with a sports hernia before the home series against South Africa. 

Injuries are part of the sport and that part hasn’t been too kind to me, but it’s part of the journey, and you got to take the good and the bad. I have been out for two months, and just to get back to the dressing room and have that chat and laughter around the group, is great,” he explained.
