IND vs AUS, 2nd Test: Twitter lashes out on Rahul & Vijay after their dismal batting at Perth
Fans on Twitter lashed out at both Indian openers Vijay and KL Rahul after they returned back to the pavilion with hardly anything on the board
After India bowled out Australia for 326 runs in the first innings, both Indian openers Vijay and KL Rahul returned back to the pavilion with hardly anything on the board. Now, two of India’s best batsmen, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli are fighting it out on the crease against the deadly Aussie bowling attack on day two of the second Test.
Just before the lunch on day two, Australia speedster Mitchell Starc bowled an absolute stunner to knock Indian opener Murali Vijay’s middle stump after brushing the back pad on its way through in the third over.
Here’s the video of Vijay’s dismissal…
SEED! Mitchell Starc was fired up after this beauty to knock over Murali Vijay before the lunch break 🔥#AUSvIND | @Toyota_Aus pic.twitter.com/pgm50xJ8pG

After Vijay’s dismissal, Kl Rahul completely misjudged an almost yorker length delivery from Josh Hazlewood and got cleaned up scoring just two runs with a disbelief on his face in the third over of the post-lunch session.
Here’s the video of Rahul’s dismissal…
Awesome.

The ball Vijay got out was a peach but KL Rahul was so shit scared in his pants that he couldn't even defend a full on yorker .. .
