New Delhi: With a depleting form in red ball, KL Rahul seems to find unique ways to get himself out. Rahul had been sent to the Australia A tour as part of the last minute additions in the India A squad. KL Rahul opened the batting for India and was dismissed for just 10 runs in 44 balls in the second unofficial Test in Melbourne.
The batter was expected to deliver, having been dismissed for just 4 runs in 4 balls in the first innings of the same match. Up against spinner Corey Rocchiccioli, however, Rahul made an absolute mess as he directed the ball onto the stumps in a bizarre manner.
While KL’s form has been a constant point of concern for the India Team, the position of the Karnataka born batsman has come under immense scrutiny. The BCCI selection committee then decided to send him to Australia as part of the India A series, hoping to see him regain his form. However, in the two matches that Rahul has so far made 14 runs.
But it was the bizarre way that KL was bowled out which triggered the social media reactions. Rahul’s test in the upcoming Border Gavaskar trophy will not only be a test of his cricketing skills but also a fight to save his position.

The more you watch this replay, the more you wonder if this is just a batter who needs a hug rather than criticism or even any technical advice. Just looking at KL Rahul’s body language post dismissal in particular #AusAvIndA https://t.co/Xzcv7SBNIh
