The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh has started in Chennai. In the first innings of this first Test match, KL Rahul from the Indian team failed to bat well and was out after scoring 16 runs. KL Rahul’s wicket was taken by Mehdi Hasan Miraz in the first innings.

For some time now, KL Rahul has failed to score big in international cricket. Former player Sanjay Manjrekar has given his opinion on his form. According to Sanjay Manjrekar, KL Rahul has a bit of difficulty in batting even when the match is in his favor.

Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo, ‘This has been the story of KL Rahul. It is a good thing that he has always played very good innings at the Test level, but this has not been seen in the last few matches. His innings was also very bad in the match being played against Bangladesh. This was seen with me too in the second phase of my career when everything was going well.

KL Rahul has scored many great centuries but at an average of 34. He has scored not one or two but many centuries and that too in difficult situations but the average of 34 describes his game and the same has been seen today as well.

Ravichandran Ashwin scored a more important century for the Indian team

Ravichandran Ashwin batted brilliantly for India and scored 113 runs in the first innings. He did not spare any bowler of Bangladesh and continuously attacked everyone. Apart from Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja scored 86 runs while Rishabh Pant contributed 39 runs.

Team India has scored 376 runs after losing all wickets in its first innings. Hasan Mahmud took 5 wickets for Bangladesh while Taskin Ahmed took three wickets. Nahid Rana and Mehdi Hasan Miraz took one wicket each.
