India vs Australia 1st T20I: KL Rahul becomes third Indian to complete 2000 runs in shortest format
India opener and vice-captain KL Rahul was in his elements on Tuesday as he scored a scintillating half-century against Australia in the opening T20I of the three-match series at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.
Rahul smashed 55 off 35 balls (4 fours, 3 sixes) and anchored India’s innings after the early dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rahul, however, fell at the wrong time, a pick-up shot finding Nathan Ellis at deep square leg off Josh Hazlewood’s delivery.
Notably, Rahul has become just the third Indian to have registered 20 or more fifties-plus scores in T20I cricket. He is behind Kohli (33) and Rohit (32) in this regard.
