Rahul was in phenomenal form with the bat in the limited-overs series against Australia and New Zealand.
Team India opener Shikhar Dhawan has lauded teammate KL Rahul for his recent topnotch performances for the Men In Blue.
Dhawan said that the Karnataka batsman in on another level and "it's a joy watching him bat".
"I am aiming for the World Cup, I am preparing for it. I am working on my fitness. I know whenever an opportunity comes, I should be ready to play. Team selection is not my hands."
"I want to perform. Over the last 1 year, it's been about getting injured and making comebacks for me. It's part and parcel of the game," Shikhar Dhawan told Irfan Pathan during an Instagram live session.
"My job is to make runs. I think in the last series, I made a fifty after a long time. But before that, I kept making 30s and 40s," he further claimed.
"Of course, I should be a good impactful player who can give a good start to my team and take my innings forward from there. That's the role I will play for my team," he added.
As far as cricket is concerned, all sporting events have been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Rahul was in phenomenal form with the bat in the limited-overs series against Australia and New Zealand.
He has scored one century and four fifty-plus scores in his last ten innings in ODIs and T20Is combined.
"Of course, KL Rahul is playing very well. It gives me a lot of joy in watching him bat from the other end. He is on another level. I watched him bat during the Sri Lanka series. It was my comeback. I was at the non-striker's end. He was hitting it all over the park. It was on a different level. I was loving it. He is playing so well. Rohit is playing so well," Dhawan said.
"It's a good thing for our team that many batsmen are playing well. The rest is up to the selectors. It's up to them whether they want to take 2 openers or 3. My job is to work hard and give 100 percent. Nothing more than that," he added.
