Rahul dismissed for 60, India lose 2nd wicket
March 26, 2017  13:08


India 118-2 (41 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


Cummins bowls another sharp bouncer at Rahul, who manages to fend it on the off-side but looks uncomfortable doing it.

An aggressive Cummins attempts another bounce as Rahul looks to pull but gets it off the bottom of the bat and is caught at mid-off for 60.

Another start thrown by Rahul as he looked on course for a big century on a good batting wicket.

All Rahul needed was some common sense as Cummins was in the third over of the spell and would not have bowled further in this spell. But Rahul decided to take on the short ball to make his point to the pacer who was giving him a tough time with the ball and some words.

India will be disappointed with Rahul's response as they give Australia a chance to make a comeback.

Captain Ajinkya Rahane also seems troubled by the short balls from Cummins as he tries the ramp shot but misses.

Pujara looks to makes a statement early on as he hits the next bouncer over midwicket for a four to get off the mark. He looks to swipe the next short ball but gets a top edge which flies over the slips and it carries all the way for a six. Not good tactics from India as they are falling into Australia's trap here.
