Rahul out for a duck; India lose early wicket

October 04, 2018 09:40

India 1st inns: 3-0 (1 ov) vs WI | Scorecard

The young Prithvi Shaw walks out to open the batting for the first time in international cricket with KL Rahul.

The debutant will take first strike, against pacer Shannon Gabriel. The first ball is wide as Shaw offers no strike before he punches the next ball, a bit short and wide, through the covers for three runs to get off the mark in Tests.

KL Rahul looks to steer the third ball through to thirdman but the fielder in the gully does well to stop it before he blocks the next two balls.

Gabriel strikes the first blow with the wicket of Rahul, who is trapped leg before wicket for a duck.

He was tentative in coming forward to defend the incoming delivery as it came in sharply and hit the pads in line. Rahul took the review after consulting his partner Shaw but the impact is in line and going on to hit the stumps as the opener walked back for a duck.
