KL Rahul on online abuse: – KL Rahul has spoken about his struggle with online abuse and how it has started changing him as a person. After returning to the international arena with a brilliant century, his sixth out of eight overall outside Asia, with the added responsibility of wicket-keeping, Rahul talked about the work he had in mind during the injury break.
“Obviously it’s difficult,” Rahul said about dealing with the things said about him. “You have your own personality, personality traits, characteristics.
When you play international cricket, all of them are challenged. As a person, as a cricketer, you are challenged every day, every moment.
Social Media is a pressure. Today I have scored a century so people are praising it.
Three months ago, everyone was abusing me. It’s part of the game, but I can’t say it doesn’t affect you; it happens.
The sooner you realize that staying away from it is good for your game and your mentality, the better off you will be.
I scored a century today and everyone is praising me. Three-four months ago everyone was misbehaving with me. I can’t claim that it doesn’t affect you; it happens; It’s just part of the game.
The sooner you realize that avoiding it improves both your game and your psyche, the better off you will be.
KL Rahul on Online Abuse – Social Media is a Pressure
If you know where to draw the line, you can perform or maintain a better mental state. No one is so amazing that they can ignore everything that is said about them and their criticism.
Every person is affected by this. And I’m pretty sure anyone who claims it doesn’t affect them is lying.
However, everyone has to choose their own path and as far as I am concerned, I worked on myself during the long period away from the game due to injury.
I tried to return to who I am and practice not changing who I am in response to these things.
With everything going on, it can be challenging to stay true to your personality and be yourself. That is the most difficult task.
However, like anything else in life or cricket, there are ways to improve it. When you have an open mind, some people can help you.
This is what I spent my time doing when I wasn’t playing games. After working on myself, I focused on maintaining my sobriety and taking care of my mental health. And also internal events.”
Rahul said revenge was never the goal as people who want to commit wrongdoings persist in their actions.
As a public-facing professional, he claimed that the only way to avoid criticism was to continue playing, but his comments on his innings also raised the possibility that he now recognized the importance of luck.
You need luck in this game and it is not always your fault when runs are not being scored. Interestingly, he accepted his good fortune in this innings and scored an incredible 101 out of 137, taking the club to a total of 245. Challenging circumstances.
