After a strong end to the inning for the Indian cricket team at the end of Day 1’s action of the 2nd Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 in Delhi, Team India finds themselves on the backfoot again.
Both Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul ended the day’s play strongly and there was a lot of expectations from the duo.
However, just at the start of the day, Team India have already lost 3 wickets in the 1st hour of the day’s play. KL Rahul became the first victim of a trio of wickets from Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon.
There is fingers being raised particularly on KL Rahul, who has been struggling with form ever since Test series vs England.
Rahul has been performing not the satisfaction of the fans and have been asking for the opener to be dropped from the team while a talented player like Shubman Gill is sitting on the bench. See how the Twitter reacted.
Hello @BCCI what is the procedure to remove KL Rahul from Indian Team??#KLRahul pic.twitter.com/BzwvdB1fnu

It takes KL Rahul three minutes to trend on Twitter every time he falls for under 25.
