Now the bass is over! Rahul out of Test team due to flop show? Disgraceful performance in last 9 innings
As Australia started in the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test, the Indian team got off to a worse start. India lost quick wickets. The Indian team seems to be struggling in the Delhi Test. India scored 126 runs after losing 5 wickets after 48 overs in the second session. This time Virat Kohli was playing on 37 runs. KS is filling the field to support Virat. Australia scored 263 runs in the first innings. However, chasing this challenge, Indian opener KL Rahul returned to the tent on just 17 runs on the next day. He was dismissed by spinner Nathan Lyon.
KL Rahul has not been able to score a big score even once in this ongoing series. He scored only 20 runs in the first Test, while the Indian team did not bat in the second innings. Rahul is the vice-captain of the Indian Test team. Talking about the last 9 innings of 30-year-old Rahul, he has not crossed the 30-run mark in any innings. In such a case, he may have to leave the team. The Indian squad for the final 2 Tests is yet to be announced soon. Initially, the squad was announced only for the first two Tests of the series.

Shubman Gill in good form
India’s young opening batsman Shubman Gill is currently in good form. A few days ago, he scored a double century in ODI against New Zealand and an international century in T20. He also scored a Test century against Bangladesh late last year. Due to this, the Indian team was able to win the Test series.
KL Rahul has lost wickets against spinners in both the innings of the ongoing series. He was dismissed by spinner Todd Murphy in the first Test and Nathan Lyon in the second Test. Team India is leading the 4-match Test series 1-0. India won the Nagpur Test by an innings and 132 runs. (ind vs ind 2nd test opener kl rahul not reach 30 runs in any of last 9 innings of the test)
