2nd Test: Anil Kumble Pinpoints KL Rahul’s ‘surprising’ Guard Choice As India Stare At Steep Chase
Analysing Yashasvi Jaiswal: As India fell to 27/2 in pursuit of a massive 549 set by South Africa, former India cricketer Anil Kumble delivered a scathing critique of KL Rahul's dismissal on Day 4 in Guwahati, calling it "surprising" and avoidable given the match situation.
Facing an improbable fourth-innings target, India’s openers had no respite. Marco Jansen removed Jaiswal for 13 in the seventh over, and Simon Harmer struck three overs later to send back Rahul, whose attempt to play across the line ended with his stumps castled.
“I think it was a fantastic delivery by Simon, no doubt. But KL went for the shot without getting to the pitch of the ball,” Kumble said, stressing that Rahul’s stance and guard choice left him vulnerable. “Because of the revolutions Simon Harmer puts on the ball, he got a bit of dip, and the line was perfect. Generally, on a fourth- or fifth-day pitch with enough rough, you tend to cover all three stumps because LBW is unlikely from that angle — the impact is usually outside off-stump. That’s why I was a bit surprised.”
