CRICKET
KL Rahul struggled to make an impact in the second unofficial Test between India A and Australia A, scoring just 4 and 10 in his two innings.
After suffering a Test series loss against New Zealand, Team India is gearing for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, which kicks off on November 22. Ahead of the series, India’s wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul was seen sweating hard in the practice nets in Perth where the first Test is scheduled.
Rahul struggled to make an impact in the second unofficial Test between India A and Australia A, scoring just 4 and 10 in his two innings. Despite his ongoing poor form, he has received full support from his head coach, Gautam Gambhir, who recently praised Rahul's versatility to bat at any position for the team. However, with the possibility that the India captain might miss the first Test in Perth, Gambhir suggested that Rahul could step in as an opener if the captain is unavailable.
With such a huge responsibility on his shoulders, Rahul was spotted putting in intense practice sessions in the nets alongside teammates Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal in Perth.
