KL Rahul’s tough run with the bat continued in the ongoing second Test against Australia A at the MCG. After scoring just 4 runs in the first innings, Rahul had fans hoping for a stronger performance in the second. Instead, his strange dismissal left fans frustrated and questioning his place in the lineup.

On the first ball of the 18th over, bowled by Corey Rocchiccioli, Rahul made a critical misjudgment. The off-spinner delivered a good-length ball on middle stump, and Rahul, expecting it to turn, chose to leave it.

But the ball held its line, hitting his back pad and crashing into the stumps. This error forced Rahul to walk back with only ten runs off 44 balls—a clear brain-fade moment that sparked plenty of reactions.

Social media quickly lit up with fans voicing their disappointment. Many questioned why Rahul chose to leave a straight ball, while others suggested he should take a break to regain form. 

Some fans went as far as saying he should consider retirement before veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, calling out his recent inconsistency. This criticism highlights the rising pressure on Rahul, who many feel needs to find his rhythm soon.

Given that Rohit Sharma may miss the first game in the upcoming series, there’s been talk of Rahul stepping up in the top order. That’s why he was asked to open in this Test, but after this dismissal, his readiness for the role seems in doubt.
