Australia and India are playing in the second Test match in Delhi, where the Kangaroos won the toss and decided to bat first. Because to Men in Blue’s outstanding bowling performance on the first day, the Kangaroos were successfully contained at 263 runs.
Men in Blue stepped out to bat for the final 10 overs, and both batters have taken a steady approach thus far, scoring 13 runs in the first 6 overs of consistent hitting from Sharma and Rahul.
The purpose of Rohit Sharma was evident from the first ball, as seen by the four goals he scored in the first few deliveries he faced.
KL Rahul is under constant pressure to score, especially with Shubhman Gill filling in as the backup opener.
Although Gill has a strong recent record and the full support of the team management, Rahul’s position as the opening batter could be in jeopardy if he has trouble with the bat.
