KL Rahul

ODI between India and Sri Lanka at R. Premadasa Stadium ended in a dramatic tie, thanks to an all-round performance from Sri Lankan players.

Rahul's decision to bowl after winning the toss backfired quickly as Sunil Narine went all guns blazing against the LSG bowling unit.

A report during this period stated that Ravindra Jadeja might not be available for the third and fourth Tests, even though Mohammed Shami was out of the England series.

Former England captain Michael Atherton labeled the Indian batsmen as "generous" and asserted that Virat Kohli would not have squandered a century opportunity in the manner Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul did.

Batsman Shreyas Iyer, seeking to regain form after a modest performance in the South Africa Test series, has made himself available for the match, contributing 48 runs in the first innings.

South Africa's captain, Aiden Markram, won the toss and chose to bat first. KL Rahul expressed his preference for batting first as well and unveiled India's playing XI for the match

India skipper Rohit Sharma won the medal thanks to his tactical understanding.

Along with Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja donning unorthodox looks, Shubhman Gill also contributes to the makeover.

India and Australia will lock horns in the second ODI of the series on Sunday, September 24.

In the first ODI between India and Australia, KL Rahul successfully stumped Marnus Labuschagne.
