Rohit Sharma vows to bring the best out of KL Rahul in upcoming Test season

Blinding streaks of brilliance interspersed with gloomy barrenness often wrap KL Rahul's Test career in unfair inconsistency but skipper Rohit Sharma hoped that the "clear message" given to him will help the elegant batter to take his career forward in the longest format.

Rahul oozed class while making a hundred against South Africa in Centurion in 2023, and an 86 against England at Hyderabad earlier this year.

But before that his performance went through a trough for two years, with the batter making just a fifty in 12 innings.
