KL Rahul's Horror Run in Tests Continues with Outrageous Leave Resulting in Early Dismissal

KL Rahul's ongoing struggles with the bat continued during India's unofficial Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The opening batter was dismissed for just 10 runs in the second innings, following his underwhelming performance of 4 runs in the first innings.

Rahul's inconsistent form in the longer format has raised concerns ahead of India's upcoming series against Australia. With Rohit Sharma's availability for the first Test in doubt, KL Rahul is considered a strong contender to open the innings for India. Even if he does make the playing XI, his struggles with consistency are concerning, especially ahead of such a crucial series. India needs a 4-0 series win to secure automatic qualification for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, making Rahul's form even more critical. 

The selectors will be watching Rahul's next performances closely, not just for his batting returns but also for his ability to handle the immense pressure of a series of such importance. India cannot afford a lengthy slump from their opening batsmen, and Rahul must rise to the occasion if he wants to retain his place in the team for what is expected to be a challenging and tightly contested series. His role will be critical not only in the first Test but in setting the tone for the entire series. 

If he is included in the team for the first Test, it will be a critical moment for Rahul to prove his mettle and justify the selectors' faith in him. Anything less than a strong, confident performance could lead to further questions over his ability to thrive in the Test format. However, his recent performances have put his place under scrutiny, with many questioning his ability to perform under pressure in red-ball cricket
