sent to Australia. So that he could participate in the second unofficial match between India A and Australia A and strengthen his preparations for the Border Gavaskar Trophy

He could face only 4 balls and gave his wicket to fast bowler Scott Boland. His partner Abhimanyu Easwar also could not do anything special. Michael Neeser dismissed Abhimanyu Easwar on a score of zero.
There was talk of opening in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
KL Rahul is a part of Team India for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian team will leave for Australia on November 10 for the five Test matches to be played against Australia.
