‘Athiya will breakup now” – Twitter trolls KL Rahul after his another failure in the India vs South Africa match in 20-20 World Cup 2022

Published on

After having a great start to the 20-20 World Cup campaign, India locked horns with South Africa in their third match at Perth on Sunday. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first. Rohit opened the innings with KL Rahul who has been struggling with the bat in the 20-20 World Cup so far.

The Indian innings started with Wayne Parnell bowling the first over to Rahul. The opener was beaten on quite a few occasions and played a few dot balls as well. He ended up playing a maiden over to put the pressure of scoring on Rohit at the other end.

The Indian captain played three dot balls as well in the next over bowled by Kagiso Rabada. Rohit finally broke the shackles and smashed a six on the fourth ball to get India off the mark. He pulled a short delivery over fine leg for a massive six.

KL Rahul further played another dot ball on the first ball of the third over. However, he lit up the stadium on the second ball of the over as he clobbered a good-length delivery over long-on for a stunning six. It seemed as if the opener has finally found his groove back and is determined to go big in the match.

However, the star batter was once again seen struggling against Lungi Ngidi as he failed to get bat on the ball. His struggling innings was finally ended on the last ball of the fifth over edging the ball straight to the first slip.

Rahul returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 off 14 balls leaving India at 26/2 after 5 overs. The innings added another failure to Rahul’s name who could only manage the scores of 4 and 9 in the first two matches of the tournament against Pakistan and Netherlands respectively.

Amid Rahul’s constant failures, there’s a wild uproar among the Indian fans to include Rishabh Pant in place of the opener. The Indian team tried Pant in the opening slot leading up to the World Cup however the gamble didn’t pay off. It will be interesting to see whether the team management will once again try the same in the tournament.

Rahul’s third consecutive failure didn’t go down well with the fans. Here’s how Twitter reacted to KL Rahul’s another disappointing performance:
