As all the sporting events across the world have been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, Rahul is enjoying some time away from cricket.
He was phenomenal with the bat in the limited-overs series against Australia and New Zealand. He scored one century and four fifty-plus scores in his last ten innings in ODIs and T20Is combined.
