Rahul hits half-century to give India a good start

March 17, 2017 15:18

India 73-0 (23 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard

Hazlewood getting some reverse as he gets one to shape in but Vijay is able to get his bat down and tuck it on the leg side for one.

Two balls later, Hazlewood gets one to hold its line as Rahul plays inside the line to get an edge for a four between the slip and gully fielder. He then overpitches as Rahul flicks it to deep midwicket for a couple.

In the next over, Rahul sweeps Lyon for a four through square leg to bring up his fifty in some style, from 69 balls with the help of eight fours.

Rahul continues his consistent run with the bat as he registers his fourth successive half-century in five innings in the series. And the onus will now be on on him to convert it into a big one.
