Border-Gavaskar Trophy: K L Rahul’s gritty fifty takes India to 167 for six at lunch on Day 4 of 3rd Test

Brisbane, 17/12: K L Rahul displayed admirable technical nous to withstand the stern test posed by the Australian bowlers, making a resolute fifty that formed the backbone of India’s still underwhelming 167 for six at lunch on the fourth day of the third Test.

A nine toes down Rahul (84, 139b, 8×4) and an equally feisty Ravindra Jadeja (41, 77b, 4×4) raised 67 runs for the sixth wicket before the former fell to a remarkably athletic catch by Steve Smith at first slip off Nathan Lyon.
