Costly Mistake Before Lunch
Just a few minutes before lunch, KL Rahul made a big error. England bowler Brydon Carse got Rahul out. It was a wide ball outside the off stump.
Rahul, tempted, went for a flashy cover drive, but the ball took an edge off his bat. Joe Root took the catch in the slips, and Rahul’s innings ended.
This dismissal was similar to Virat Kohli’s dismissals, as he too has been out many times chasing wide balls in this manner.
Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar had praised KL Rahul for avoiding such shots, so this mistake seemed very surprising.
Rahul’s Frustration Goes Viral
When KL Rahul was walking back to the pavilion, his frustration was captured on camera. He was very angry with himself, shaking his head and gripping his wrist tightly.
Fans could see how upset he was, and despite a good start, he got out due to a small error.
This moment went viral, and people are comparing it with Virat Kohli’s struggles.
Rahul’s anger is visible in the pictures, showing how much he wanted to score in this big match.
Impact on India’s Innings
Rahul’s wicket hurt India a lot. After this, debutant Sai Sudharsan got out for zero runs, and India had lost two wickets for 92 at lunch.
On the other hand, Jaiswal batted very well and scored a century.
Rahul’s experience is very important for India, especially without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have retired from the Test format.
