Fans on Twitter hit out at stand-in skipper KL Rahul after he gets dismissed for a low total in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh. They criticised him for his statement in the pre-match press conference and took a jibe at him saying that the right-handed aggressively after seeing England play the Test.
KL Rahul gets dismissed for 22 runs in the first Test against Bangladesh
India had a horrendous start to the first Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram. They won the toss and opted to bat first but it wasn’t a fruitful outing as they lost three quick wickets which saw them tumbling at 48/3.
After India lost Shubman Gill for 20 runs, many expected skipper Rahul to bat for a long time and play a big inning. He looked good initially but a false stroke saw him back in the hut for just 22 runs. His wicket puts India under more pressure as they lost two wickets in a quick succession of time.
It was the first ball of the 19th over when Khaled Ahmed bowled a short-of-length delivery outside off stump, to which Rahul chopped on. He hanged the bat out to guide the ball square on the off-side but it came down at a weird angle and he dragged it back onto the stumps, which saw him back in the hut for 22 runs.
Notably, Rahul of late has been in poor form and is getting dismissed for low totals. His wicket only put India in trouble as they lost Kohli too after that as the hosts saw themselves tottering at 48/3.

he will show his aggressive approach in IPL only. He has so much talent but still fails to perform for India except few irrelevant matches/against minnows. He puts himself ahead of team is other problem.
