Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Rohit Sharma shows frustration after KL ... (India Today)

India captain Rohit Sharma was visibly frustrated after fellow opener KL Rahul lost his wicket with a loose shot towards the end of Day 1 in India's first ...

The India skipper got to his half-century in 66 balls, hitting eight boundaries and one six. After Rahul’s dismissal, India got on Ravichandran Ashwin as the night watchman to see the day out. However, debutant Todd Murphy had other plans in mind as he tossed up a delivery from around the wicket, which was flicked by Rahul straight at the bowler, who held on to pick his first Test wicket of his career.

The only batter to be dismissed from the Indian camp was Rohit Sharma's deputy KL Rahul, who was caught and bowled by debutant Todd Murphy for 20 off 71 ...

[Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar](https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/he-should-be-an-automatic-choice-for-1st-test-vs-australia-sunil-gavaskar-says-bold-calls-must-be-taken-with-india-s-xi-101675883101545.html), on the other hand, suggested that both the players should be included in the XI, with Gill taking charge at the top and Rahul providing stability to the middle-order. If we look at recent outings, Gill heads into the series on the back of tremendous form, slamming centuries in all three formats, which also include an ODI double hundred. In fact Rohit was the one, who looked more upset as soon as Murphy caught the ball to foil India's perfect start. However, both the players were not very happy with Rahul throwing away a great start after spending substantial time in the middle. The dismissal came just one over before stumps as he and Rohit gave India a solid start, adding 76 runs for the opening wicket. Earlier in the day, Ravindra Jadeja ran through the Australian batting line-up and completed a fifer in his first outing since returning from his injury.

India had a perfect start to the opening day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy edition on Thursday (February 09). Being asked to bowl first in the first Test, ...

While only few deliveries were left for Day 1 to end, Rohit-led India would've been much more content with their opening pair battling the final moments. Captain Rohit Sharma, at the non-striker's end, was left disappointed with Rahul's mode of dismissal: However, Rahul was once again dismissed for cheap -- after a dismal run in the Bangladesh Tests in December 2022 -- with a soft dismissal leading to his long walk back to the pavillion.

IND vs AUS 2023: नागपुर टेस्ट में भी नहीं चला केएल राहुल का बल्ला, फैंस ... (ABP News)

Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023: भारत ऑस्ट्रेलिया के पहले टेस्ट मैच की पहली पारी में केएल राहुल एक बार ...

हर फॉर्मेट में लगातर खराब फॉर्म से जूझ रहे केएल राहुल को नागपुर टेस्ट में, पिछले एक महीने में 4 शतक लगाने वाले शुभमन गिल की जगह खेलने का मौका मिला, लेकिन आज भी उनकी बल्लेबाजी ने सभी को निराश किया है. हालांकि, केएल राहुल पारी की शुरुआत से ही असहज नजर आ रहे थे. केएल राहुल पिछले कई महीनों से आउट ऑफ फॉर्म चल रहे हैं. केएल राहुल ने 71 गेंदों में 28.17 की स्ट्राइक रेट से सिर्फ 20 रन बनाए. टॉस के बाद इस सवाल का जवाब मिला कि शानदार फॉर्म में चल रहे शुभमन गिल की जगह पर बेहद बुरे फॉर्म में चल रहे केएल राहुल को कप्तान रोहित शर्मा के साथ ओपनिंग करने का मौका मिला. रोहित ने शुरू से तेज रन बनाना जारी रखा, ताकि दूसरी छोर पर केएल राहुल को अपनी फॉर्म में वापस आने का पूरा मौका मिल सके.

ऐसे में चयनकर्ताओं को अब उनको ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ आगामी दो टेस्ट मैच के लिए मयंक अग्रवाल के नाम पर चर्चा करनी ही होगी. शादी के बाद मैदान पर पहली बार कोई मैच खेलने उतरे केएल राहुल से एक अच्छी पारी की उम्मीद थी लेकिन जैसा उन्होंने बांग्लादेश के खिलाफ किया था वैसा ही यहां नागपुर टेस्ट की पहली पारी में किया. केएल राहुल पर कप्तान रोहित शर्मा और कोच राहुल द्रविड़ का भरोसा है जिसकी वजह से वो अब तक किसी ना किसी की जगह पर प्लेइंग इलेवन में शामिल किए जा रहे हैं लेकिन अब सबकुछ बदलने वाला है.

He lured him into driving the ball but the ball took the inside edge and flew straight back at Murphy who took it safely and started celebrating his maiden Test wicket. Later, he took the wicket of Smith as well to push Aussies completely on back foot. But after lunch, Jadeja came back to his brutal best, dismissing Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw on back-to-back deliveries. In this opening partnership, the majority of the work was done by Rohit who finished the day unbeaten on 56 off 69 balls that included 9 fours and 1 six respectively. The penutimate over of the day was bowled by Todd Murphy, who made his Test debut in this match. After bowling out Aussies for a mere 177, Rahul and India captain Rohit Sharma came out to open the innings and put on 76 for the first wicket.
