KL Rahul has been training at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, working on regaining full fitness ahead of the T20I series against the West Indies.

Only on Thursday, NCA chief VVS Laxman thanked KL Rahul for interacting with aspiring cricket coaches at the NCA.

"Thank you @klrahul for addressing the candidates attending the Level-3 coach certification course at NCA. Listening to your different experiences as a player and captain will definitely help these passionate coaches to learn, improve and excel in their careers," Laxman said, sharing photos of Rahul's interaction with the coaches at the NCA in Bengaluru.
