KL Rahul's poor fielding on Day 2 of the fourth Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 gifted free runs to the England National Cricket Team at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Being invited to bat first in the match, India batted for around one and a half days and ended up posting 358 runs on the board in 114.1 overs.
When it was England's turn to bat, conditions on offer were not easy, but the English openers got great assistance from Indian bowlers as they were wayward and couldn't bowl at good lengths.
After players returned from break for the final session of Day 2, Shardul Thakur started the spell, and on the second ball itself, he conceded a boundary.
The English opener poked at it, and the outside edge beat the fielder at gully. KL Rahul, who was at the slip cordon, chased the ball, and it looked like he would stop the ball from hitting the ropes.

"I think we heard it when we were waiting to come out just before the break, what Ravi Shastri said. It was rubbish. They just missed their areas.
"I think they had to go to their best and most experienced bowlers. They got off to a flyer, way too straight the ducat, so many boundaries, square of the wicket on the leg side, you know you can't bowl there, so they've got some work to do now.
"They've got to get together at the break and work out how they're going to bowl to try and slow the scoring down, but then work out how they're going to get these two out."
