I did not like this content because it is a raw transcript of a talk show interview, and it lacks the structure, clarity, and engagement needed for a news article. Here’s a rewritten version of the content in a clear, engaging, and well-structured format suitable for an international audience:
KL Rahul Credits Anushka Sharma for Helping Him Overcome Debut Jitters
Indian cricketer KL Rahul has credited Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, wife of teammate Virat Kohli, for helping him overcome the disappointment of his international debut in 2014. In a talk show interview six years ago, Rahul shared a heartwarming story of how Anushka went out of her way to support him during a tough time.
Rahul made his Test debut for India in the 2014/15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Melbourne, but his first impression was not exactly memorable. He scored a paltry 3 and 1 in the two innings, despite India managing a draw. However, Anushka’s kind gesture helped him turn his fortunes around.
According to Rahul, Anushka watched the Melbourne match and noticed that he was feeling down and dejected. She then visited his room and told him that she wouldn’t let him sit alone and think about cricket. Instead, she and Virat planned to take him out to help him forget his disappointment.
Rahul has fond memories of those times, recalling how he became a third wheel on several dinner dates with Kohli and Anushka. He also shared how the couple’s stories of enduring failure in their careers helped him feel less alone in his struggles.
The batting star’s career took off from that point, and he has since played 50 Tests for India, amassing 2,863 runs. Rahul still exchanges messages with Anushka, although most of them are about his dog!
Today, Rahul is part of the India A side facing India B in the Duleep Trophy opener, which started in Bengaluru earlier today. It’s a testament to how far he has come, and a reminder of the support system that helped him get there.
