KL Rahul's horror show: Duck followed by bizarre hit-wicket dismissal
Reported by Times of India, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
Rahul's back-to-back dismissals helped trigger India A's batting collapse, highlighting concerns about his form ahead of senior team duties.
KL Rahul struggled in the first unofficial Test against New Zealand A, scoring only four runs in two innings. In the first innings, he was dismissed for a duck after edging a catch to the wicketkeeper. His second innings ended in a bizarre hit-wicket dismissal as he accidentally struck the stumps with his bat. Rahul's two failures contributed to India A's batting collapse in the match.
An unofficial Test is a first‑class match between representative sides that does not count as a full international, and India A is the country's second‑tier team used to develop players for the senior national side.
