During the Q&A session, Rahul was asked about his Test debut and he revealed he wasn't expecting to play a match in the 2014 Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. He was handed over his Test cap by then-skipper Dhoni and Rahul stated it had been a proud moment for him.
His post read: "It was a special and emotional moment for me. I never thought I'd get an opportunity to play in the series and it absolutely was a special feeling to get handed over that cap from MS Dhoni."
Rahul's debut, however, didn't go as per plan as he was dismissed for paltry scores of 3 and 1 at the enduring Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Before COVID-19 abruptly halted all sport, Rahul was given the added responsibility to keep wickets in white-ball cricket also and he stated he has been enjoying the role considerably.
He also stated that keeping wickets to fast-bowler Jasprit Bumrah is really a very tough task. His post read: "Absolutely enjoying wicket-keeping. The toughest bowler to keep to is Jasprit Bumrah."
