KL Rahul Fails For India A Ahead Of Australia Tests. Internet Says 'Not Bradman...'

Drafted to India A's squad ahead of the unofficial 2nd Test against Australia A, star batter KL Rahul could only manage to score 4 runs in the first inning at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Rahul, who opened the batting for India A in the second official Test, lasted just four balls, hitting a solitary boundary before being removed by pacer Scott Boland, who is part of Australia's squad for the upcoming five-match series against India, starting November 22. Apart from Rahul, Bengal captain Abhimanyu Easwarana, also part of India's Test squad, registered a three-ball duck.

Easwarana, who has been tipped to replace India captain Rohit Sharma, who is likely to miss the 1st Test against Australia in Perth, was one of Michael Neser's four scalps in the first session.

India A were 65/5 at Lunch on Day 1 as Neser grabbed four wickets in the opening session. Neser dismissed the likes of Easwarana (0), Sai Sudharsan (0) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (4) inside the first hour of play.

Easwaran - 0(3).
KL Rahul - 4(4).
Sudharsan - 0(1).
Ruturaj - 4(6).

KL Rahul started as a Middle order batter. Failed. Shifted as to Open, failed there too. Shifted back to Middle order, flopped there and now back to Opening

So much to fit him in the team. No respect or value for Domestic Players #AUSAvINDA pic.twitter.com/DDI2UBknmB

Rohit Sharma & Gautam Gambhir intentionally destroying KL Rahul Career.
