KL Rahul fails to impress for India A
KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel joined the Indian A squad in Australia immediately after India defeated New Zealand at home earlier this month. The Karnataka batter opened the second unofficial Test between India A and Australia A along with Abhimanyu Easwaran. The two players had an opportunity to compete for the role of third opener in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

However, in the first innings of the unofficial Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Rahul lost his wicket to Scott Boland when he caught behind to wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson after scoring just four runs. The 32-year-old had a chance to redeem himself in the second inning. However, he was dismissed for a 44-ball 10 from off-spinner Corey Rocchiccioli, who bowled it between his legs.
Easwaran also failed in both innings as he scored scores of 0 and 17. Indian captain Rohit Sharma is likely to miss the first Test and either Easwaran or Rahul should open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The first Test begins on November 22 at Optus Stadium in Perth.
