He scored just four runs off 15 balls before walking back after a bizarre hit-wicket dismissal.
It initially looked like Rahul had been bowled, but the replays told a different story. India A needed their experienced batter to deliver in the second innings, but Rahul failed again. The ball was not going to hit the stumps. Rahul’s attempt to stop it resulted in him dislodging the wicket, and he was given out hit-wicket. The right-handed batter looked visibly frustrated as he made his way back to the pavilion. Sheat had dismissed him for the second time in the match, leaving Rahul with scores of zero and four.
India A’s batting line-up then collapsed, with the team managing just 113 runs. The second match will begin on October 31, followed by the third and final game from November 7. The first Test is scheduled to start in Wellington on November 19, while the second will begin in Christchurch on November 27.
He departed for a duck after facing eight balls. India A and New Zealand A are scheduled to play three unofficial Tests. After the unofficial Test series, the senior Indian team will face New Zealand in a two-match Test series.
