KL Rahul has been struggling for form (AP)
KL Rahul has come under increased criticism for his low scores with the bat as he dismissed for 17 from 41 balls in the second Border-Gavaskar test vs Australia
KL Rahul suffered yet another failure with the bat in India’s first innings on day two of the second Test at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday.
After surviving two previous DRS calls from Australian captain Pat Cummins, he was third-time unlucky on asking for a review himself.
Nathan Lyon tossed the ball on middle, as it turned in a little with Rahul getting forward to defend but his bat got stuck next to the pad. The Aussie spinner trapped the Indian opener in front of the wickets as the umpire Nitin Menon took no time to raise his finger but Rahul immediately decided to review. The third umpire checked for an inside edge off the bat but there was nothing on Ultra Edge. The projection showed that the ball would have gone don’t to hit the leg stump as Rahul departed for 17 from 41 balls.
