In the last three international matches that he has played in, KL Rahul has batted at three different batting positions and has taken two different roles, however, the wicketkeeper-batsman said he has been relishing the whole process of experimentation.

KL Rahul has been in a rich vein of form since quite some time. The Karnataka batsman has scores of 102, 77, 45, 54, 47 and 80 in his last 6 international matches (T20Is and ODIs) while batting at different positions. In absence of regular opener Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul opened the innings with Rohit Sharma during the Sri Lanka T20Is but was moved to No. 3 position as Dhawan returned to the side in Australia ODIs.

However, KL Rahul batting at No. 3 pushed down Virat Kohli to No.4 position in the ODI series opener against Australia but that did not work well for the team hence Kohli returned to his usual batting position (one down) in the 2nd ODI in Rajkot. KL Rahul, who is usually a top-order batsman, came in at No. 5 in Rajkot and scored a fluent 80.

Not only this, with Rishabh Pant being ruled out of the 2nd ODI due to concussion, KL Rahul also kept wickets in Rajkot and even affected a stumping.

"It is a great challenge and last couple of months have been good. I have been in decent form and pretty confident about my skills. So, coming up to a new game and having a new responsibility and a new role is also a blessing. I don't think a lot of batsmen get that. I am enjoying my batting so wherever I get to bat I just want to put a performance for my team," KL Rahul said in the post-match press conference.

"When I get to bat at 3 or 4 or 5, I am kind of enjoying it. New ways to counter bowlers and handle the situation. I don't look at it as pressure. More than willing to bat anywhere. Anybody who is playing for the country will be willing to take up any role that team management gives them.

"I spoke a lot to the middle-order batsman and watched a lot of videos. I spoke a lot to Virat and watched videos of AB (de Villiers) and Steve Smith on how they build innings. The reading of the game has gotten better for me."

India came back from the Mumbai drubbing to post a comprehensive 36-run win over Australia, thereby leveling the series 1-1 with the final ODI in Bengaluru set to be a mouth-watering finale.
