KL Rahul has been India's highest run-scorer in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. He has amassed 235 runs in six innings with two half-centuries. India will be hoping Rahul's injury is not a major one as they look forward to the Boxing Day Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Olympics, Paralympics, Men's T20 World Cup, Women's T20 World Cup, FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, Chess World Cup—Indian sports had a lot to look forward to in 2024. However, along with many highs, Indian sports witnessed quite a few controversies as well. Here, we list some of them.
KL Rahul is not often used to listen to many praises, especially from fans in recent times. But on the Australia tour, he is the best Indian batter by a distance spending a lot of time in the middle opening the innings. His knock at Gabba in Brisbane has almost helped India draw the Test match.
The tables turned on the fourth day of the third Test between India and Australia as the visitors not only avoided the follow-on but also managed to tire out Australians, who were one bowler short. Now draw seems the most likely result with just 57.5 overs of play being possible on Tuesday.
KL Rahul was on his way to playing one of the hundreds of a lifetime by an Indian batter in Australia but it wasn't to be as Steve Smith redeemed himself by plucking a blinder to dismiss the most solid-looking player for the visitors in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Day 4 of the Gabba Test.
It was a very frustrating day at the Gabba in Brisbane with just 33.1 overs of play being possible on Monday, December 16 with umpteen stop-starts. Australia managed to snatch away the control fully but with three days already gone, the hosts will need weather to be lenient in the last two days.
After a huge defeat in the second match in Adelaide, the Indian cricket team is expected to make two big changes to their playing eleven for the third Test against Australia at the iconic Gabba in Brisbane starting on December 14.
KL Rahul played a crucial knock of 77 in the second innings of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener at the Optus Stadium in Perth to help India draw first blood in the series. He also chipped in with a 37-run knock in the second Test at the Adelaide Oval.
KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal became the Indian opening pair to notch up a double hundred-run opening stand against Australia Down Under in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25. Rahul was asked about his batting spot in the second Test with captain Rohit Sharma returning.
KL Rahul opened the innings in the first Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth in Rohit Sharma's absence. He fared well facing a total of 250 deliveries across two innings and scored 103 runs. But with India's skipper returning, will he be moved to down the order for pink-ball Test in Adelaide?
IND vs PM XI Highlights: India will be led by their designated captain Rohit Sharma in the pink-ball warm-up game against Prime Minister's XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. Rohit joined Team India on day four of the first Test in Perth.
Captain Rohit Sharma missed the opening Test against Australia in Perth due to the birth of his second child but is available for the second match in Adelaide starting on December 5. KL Rahul opened with Yashavsi Jaiswal in Perth and played impressive knocks in both innings.
Rohit Sharma missed the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth due to the birth of his second child. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah led India to a convincing 295-run win at the Optus Stadium.
"It's a bit premature to talk about the captaincy. Axar Patel has been with the franchise for a very long time and he was the vice-captain for the last cycle, so we don't know whether it's going to be Axar or whether it's going be somebody else." DC co-owner Parth Jindal said.
After scoring just 5 runs in the first innings, Virat Kohli made a strong comeback with his 30th Test century in the second innings of the first Test match against Australia in Perth. Kohli gained 9 places in the updated ICC Test rankings with his first century in 2024.
IPL mega auction 2025: Ten teams spent Rs 639.15 crore to sign a total of 182 players in a two-day bidding action in Jeddah. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer bagged a combined amount of Rs 53.75 crore while the likes of Kane Williamson and Steve Smith went unsold.
Delhi Capitals made some intelligent purchases and a few quality buys with KL Rahul being their costliest pick at the IPL 2025 mega auction. With Faf du Plessis also in the squad, the Delhi Capitals have a few options for captaincy with Axar Patel being retained.
KL Rahul was roped in by Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction. He is the top captaincy choice for the Capitals. However, they have picked another captaincy contender on Day 2 of the bidding war in Jeddah.
With India captain Rohit Sharma likely to return in the second Test in Adelaide, the team management and the head coach have a lot of thinking to do with the playing XI given KL Rahul, who opened in the skipper's absence in the first Test, looked one of the most stable batters in both innings.
The first match of the 5-Test Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia is being played in Perth. In this match, Indian opener KL Rahul played a brilliant half-century in the second innings. His wife and actress Athiya Shetty has reacted on social media regarding this innings.
