The first test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is being played between India and Australia in the Perth Test. While India lost the wicket of KL Rahul before the lunch break, however, Rahul was playing very cautiously, looking at which it seemed that he would play a big innings. But on the score of 26 runs, he was caught out behind on the ball of Mitchell Starc. That too after review by the third umpire, while the umpire present on the field had given him not out. There is a debate regarding Rahul’s wicket whether he was out or not out, the commentator present in the commentary box explained this.
Star Sports has shared the video, in which Sanjay Manjrekar, Wasim Akram and Deep KL are explaining Rahul’s dismissal. While Wasim Akram said that KL Rahul was very unlucky, Manjrekar explained why Rahul should not have been given out. Manjrekar said that if movement was seen twice on the skekometer, then KL was out, but here only one movement was seen, which was of the pad hitting the bat, and not of the ball hitting the bat.
Team India seems to be in a lot of trouble in Perth. India lost 6 wickets even before 75 runs were added on the scoreboard. While Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal were out without opening the account, Virat Kohli could not handle Josh Hazlewood’s extra bounce properly and returned to the pavilion after scoring five runs. KL was out after scoring 26 runs while Dhruv Jurel was out after scoring 11 runs. Washington Sundar also could not do anything and kept walking after scoring four runs.
