Before the match, KL Rahul got 2 lives but still he could not capitalize on that opportunity.

4 Indian batsmen out

India faltered in the second test match on Friday and the Indian batting collapsed badly. Team India’s 4 wickets fell for just 81 runs. Mitchell Starc gave a good start to the team by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball of the first over of the match. After this, Shubman Gill along with KL Rahul slowly started taking the innings forward, but on the total score of 69 runs, KL Rahul was out after scoring 37 runs. After this, Virat Kohli also returned to the pavilion after scoring only 7 runs and Shubman Gill was dismissed by Scott Boland on 31 runs.

KL Rahul out on no ball

Earlier, KL Rahul was caught in the slips, he was lucky that the umpire signaled no ball. When Scott Boland bowled the ball, it went into the hands of Alex Carey standing behind the wicket, dodging KL Rahul. Boland and the entire Australian team made a strong appeal, after which KL Rahul was seen walking towards the pavilion. Seeing Rahul moving towards the pavilion, Virat Kohli was also seen taking steps to enter the field. But luck favored him and the umpire declared the ball a no ball, which brought a lot of relief to Rahul.

Mitchell Starc’s brilliant performance

Australia’s Mitchell Starc dismissed three batsmen in this match. Before this, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. After the toss, Rohit said, ‘This pitch is very good, there is grass here, but as time passes it will become easier to bat. I have played practice matches and now I am completely ready to play. There are three changes in our team – I, Gill and Ashwin are returning.

Australian captain Pat Cummins said, ‘It is always good to make a fresh start. We also wanted to bat first. Our preparation has been good in the last few days and hopefully we will get an edge here. There is one change in our team today, James Hazlewood is out of the team, he has been replaced by Scott Boland.
