BAN VS IND: Former Indian cricket team player Sanjay Manjrekar has given a big statement, supporting Indian captain KL Rahul after failing in both innings of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chittagong.
Let us tell you that KL Rahul failed to make a big score even after getting a good start on Friday, the third day of the India vs Bangladesh match. During the match, fast bowler Khalid Ahmed from Bangladesh adopted the strategy of the shot ball against Rahul.
So at the same time, KL Rahul’s short innings ended with 23 runs when he was caught by Taijul Islam while pulling a shot pitched by Khalid Ahmed. Although KL Rahul, who was struggling with poor form in this match, could not do anything special in India’s first innings, KL Rahul scored a total of 45 runs in two innings.
BAN VS IND: Sanjay Manjrekar’s big statement about Rahul
Please say that in the second innings of the match, when KL Rahul got out and started going to the dugout, Sanjay Manjrekar, who was present in the commentary panel, gave a big statement. He believes that KL Rahul does not have any problem in playing the shot ball, but today one of his decisions proved wrong. Sanjay said, ‘Shot ball is not KL Rahul’s weakness. But today, he got out trying to attack the shot pitch ball.
Well, the manner in which Rahul got out was not in India’s favour. In the end, he could only manage an innings of 23 runs. So on the third day of the match, the Indian batsmen performed well.
After Rahul’s early dismissal, Shubman Gill 110 and Cheteshwar Pujara’s unbeaten 102 helped Team India declare their second innings at 258 for two and set Bangladesh a target of 513 to win.
“KL Rahul has no weakness against the short ball. But he struck out today while attempting to attack the short ball,” he said while commentating on a Test match.
KL Rahul looked uneasy against the balls aimed at his body that day, and he took a few blows around his midriff. Manjrekar explained that this was due to keeping weight on the front foot rather than going as far back in the crease as possible.
On the day, India put together a 70-run stand for the first wicket, adding to their massive 254-run lead in the first innings. Shubman Gill, who was batting at 63 off 90 at the time of writing, appeared at ease in the crease. Cheteshwar Pujara, on the other hand, was batting at nine off 22 balls.
