On the first ball of the 11th over of the first innings, Afghanistan pacer Ziaur Rahman Sharifi delivered a short of the length delivery on the off of the line. Rahul leaped to play a massive cut shot, but the ball went right behind the stumps.
Afsar Zazai is the wicketkeeper for the Test, who was not sure whether there was any noise. As the keeper was supposed to judge the situation best, Hashmatullah Shahidi showed his trust in the wicketkeeper and let the chance to review the on-field umpire’s decision go.
Rahul shook his head in disagreement
“KL Rahul has played an absolute blinder here, because the captain and the keeper looked to him, and he shook his head. And they believed him. He should be put up for an Oscar for his acting there, KL Rahul. My hat's off to you, sir. Here comes the Oscar,” Graeme Swann said on air.
Disappointment for Yashasvi Jaiswal
Rahul’s wicket could have been a huge blow for the Indian cricket team as they were already down by one man. KL Rahul’s opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, lost his scalp in the earliest stage of the match. Jaiswal went for only 24 runs when India was with 41 runs on the scoreboard.
Winning the toss, Shubman Gill opted to bat first as batting in the second half of the match is expected to be very difficult because of the hot and humid conditions and the nature of the pitch, where the spinners can take a crucial role to decide the result of the contest.
