According to the article, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has heaped huge praise on Indian batter KL Rahul following the recently concluded Test series between the two teams. India beat England by six wickets in the fifth Test at The Oval to level the series 2-2.
Moeen Ali reflected on Rahul's performance as an opener in the series, stating that people do not realize how good he is. While Shubman Gill may have scored the most runs, Moeen felt that this was the best he had seen Rahul bat. Moeen genuinely believes that Rahul is one of the best batters in the world, though he sometimes doesn't take the "handbrake off."
England spinner Adil Rashid echoed Moeen's sentiments, saying that Rahul went under the radar but had a brilliant series. Rashid reckoned that this was the first time Rahul was consistently class over the five-match series, with his tempo and technique standing out.
Rahul was among India's highest run-getters in the series, making 532 runs at an average of 53.20 with two centuries and two fifties. As part of a young Indian team, he carried out his role as a senior batter superbly.
In the same episode, Moeen Ali also picked Indian captain Shubman Gill as his "Batter of the Series." Gill ended as the highest run-getter with 754 runs at an average of 75.40, including a double hundred. Moeen praised Gill's technique, discipline, and leadership as a first-time Test captain.
