The fourth Test between India and Australia is being played in Melbourne. For this match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had dropped number 3 batsman Shubman Gill. When India's batting came after Australia, he himself promoted it. Rohit Sharma himself started the innings and sent KL Rahul, who has been opening till now in this series, to number 3. Australian bowler Nathan Lyon took a dig at Rahul regarding this decision of the Indian captain. He tried to divert Rahul's attention. Now this video of both is going viral on social media.

Lion taunted Rahul?

KL Rahul has batted at many slots in the recent past. He does not get a chance to play one position continuously. This is what happened to him in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Despite batting well, Rohit's batting order was changed. Therefore, after Rohit was out, as soon as Rahul came to the crease, the Lions went straight to him. Going there, he taunted and said, 'What wrong have you done that you have to bat after the fall of one wicket.' She tried to tease him by saying this but Rahul did not respond.

As soon as the batting position was changed, KL Rahul's bat also became silent. He flopped in the first innings of the Melbourne Test and could not play a big innings. Rohit Sharma was out in the second over. After that he got a chance to bat. He also made a good start with Yashasvi and made a partnership of 43 runs. But after scoring 24 runs in 42 balls, Rahul became the victim of Pat Cummins' brilliant ball. The Australian captain bowled him out.

Most successful batsman of the series

Before this innings, KL Rahul was the most successful Indian batsman in the current edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He scored the maximum runs for India. He was second in terms of scoring the most runs in the series. But now Steve Smith has left him behind with his innings of 140 runs and Yashasvi's innings of 85 runs.
