KL Rahul offers a good start to India
Rahul opened the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal after being invited to bat first in India’s match. He looked solid in the middle and continued his good form.
In particular, Rahul recently participated in an informal test match against England Lions and batted brilliantly, scoring 116 and 51.
Meanwhile, the conditions were not difficult to bat on day 1 in Leeds, and with Rahul, Yashsvi Jaiswal, took the most advantage of it. The opening pair gave India a great start and made an outstanding partnership. He added 91 runs for the initial wicket before Rahul fell in the 25th over.
On the fifth ball of the 25th over, Pacer Bridan Cars bowled a full length outside the off-stump outsinger for Rahul, which went for a shot and managed to get only a thick lead.
The ball flew towards the root in the slippes, and the England veteran caught a sharp catch around the chest in a reverse-cover style. KL Rahul was absolutely fierce with himself after exiting, and he kicked the wind in the frustration. He went out of the field disappointed with 78 balls, including 8 fours under his belt, disappointed.
