KL Rahul Floors Cricket World, Experts Bow Down To India Star's Gabba Show

Making the most of his elevated batting role in the Indian team, KL Rahul hit 84 runs off 139 balls to lay the foundation of India's fightback against Australia at the Gabba. While others like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave away their wickets for cheap, Rahul showed the right mindset and attitude to deal with Australia's pace attack. Eventually, it was a heroic catch by Steve Smith, on the bowling of spinner Nathan Lyon that forced Rahul to head back to the pavilion.

"Technique Isn't Made For...": Cheteshwar Pujara's Blunt Verdict On 'Struggling' Virat Kohli

It was a disappointing show from Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli once again as he was dismissed cheaply on Day 3 of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane on Monday. Kohli managed to score just three runs before he was caught behind the wicket by Alex Carey off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood. Besides the century in the first Test, Kohli has been extremely inconsistent for the team and at stumps, India were left struggling on 51/4. During his analysis, Pujara pointed out that Kohli's strength lies in playing against the old ball. With India's top-order batters also struggling for runs, he has been forced to play the new ball, and his 'technique' has not helped.

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul began India's charge with the bat on Day 4 of the third Test against Australia in Brisbane, hoping to get as close to the hosts' 445-run mark as possible. While Rahul regained his Day 3 form, after the first-ball reprieve, Rohit departed after only scoring 10 runs.

Rohit, who was understandably disappointed by his early dismissal, threw his gloves near the Indian dugout.
