KL Rahul Reveals Secret To Success On Australia Pitches, Says "Respect..."

Tightening up defence and giving bowlers respect in the first 30 overs of an innings has been the mantra to KL Rahul's success during the ongoing series against Australia in which his other India teammates have struggled. Rahul has by far looked the most assured Indian batter on the tour and it was on display once again on Tuesday when he produced a gritty 84 off 139 balls in challenging conditions, contributing immensely to the visitors' 252 for nine on day four of the third Test here. After India managed to avoid follow-on in the rain-hit game, Rahul turned up for the media interaction and was expectedly asked about his style of play compared to the struggling Indian lot.

"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's 'Gloves Act' At The Gabba Triggers Retirement Speculations

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. As Rohit, who batted at the No. 6 spot in the team, continued his dry run of form, a 'frustrated act' from him left fans on social media puzzled. Rohit, who was understandably disappointed by his early dismissal, threw his gloves near the Indian dugout.

3rd Test: Australia Face Major Blow As Star Pacer Taken For Scans

Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood's further participation in the ongoing third Test is in doubt after going off the field with calf soreness in the first session on Day 4. Hazlewood arrived late on the field at the start of play and appeared to struggle when he began his spell, rarely exceeding 131 kmph. His first delivery was a wide long hop, which KL Rahul cut away with ease. During the drinks break following that over, Hazlewood engaged in an extended discussion with Pat Cummins, Steven Smith, and physio Nick Jones before leaving the field.
