WATCH: KL Rahul gets out in bizarre manner in second unofficial Test against Australia A; fans react

Star India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, who was added to India A squad for the second unofficial Test against Australia A, was dismissed in a bizarre manner. The Indian keeper-batter who has been having a lean patch, once again failed to showcase his intent and skillset with the bat as he fell after scoring only 10 runs off 44 deliveries at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

Taking the field on Day 2 of the unofficial second Test, Rahul could not add much with the bat as he was dismissed cheaply off Corey R occhiccioli’s delivery. This moment came in the 18th over of the second India inning as KL Rahul suffered a brain fade moment as the ball directed onto the stumps, dislodging the stumps in a bizarre manner.

While KL Rahul’s performance has been under scrutiny, he was replaced by Sarfaraz Khan in the second and third Test against New Zealand. In the first Test of the three-match Test series against the Kiwis, KL could accumulate only 14 runs. However, his recent knocks in the unofficial Test and the bizarre dismissal has further raised questions on his performance as India eye their third straight World Test Championship (WTC) appearance and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ahead.

Seeing this, several cricket enthusiasts hit out at KL Rahul’s current state of mind as well as his recent performances, while a few trolled him for his wicket. Check out how fans reacted to KL Rahul’s bizarre dismissal:

Speaking of the unofficial Tests down under with Australia already sealing the first match with a seven-wicket win, at stumps on day two, India A lead by 11 runs with wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel (19 off 47) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (9 off 19) in the middle.
