WATCH: KL Rahul and Virat Kohli’s lunch moment wins hearts

0

New Delhi: The opening day of the highly anticipated 3rd Test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane was unexpectedly shortened due to rain on Saturday. Just 13.2 overs were bowled in the first session before the weather turned, forcing an early end to play in the last session. Both fans and players were left feeling disheartened as they had been eagerly looking forward to an exhilarating match.

In the midst of the rain delays, a lovely moment stole the spotlight when star Indian batter KL Rahul was seen sharing his lunch with teammate Virat Kohli in the dugout. This display of friendship quickly gained traction on social media, as fans celebrated the bond between the two players, providing a lighthearted moment amid the weather troubles.

India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, won the toss and chose to let Australia bat first, hoping to take advantage of the overcast conditions. However, rain began to fall during the sixth over, prompting the umpires to put the covers on. Another light drizzle in the 14th over sent players seeking shelter, marking an early end to the first session.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj opened the bowling for India, eager for a quick breakthrough. The Australian opening duo of Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney, however, navigated through the initial overs with ease. As the session unfolded, newcomer Akash Deep brought new energy, challenging the Australian batsmen with precise deliveries, which piqued the interest of the spectators.

While the rain continued to play its unpredictable role, fans anxiously awaited the resumption of play, keen to witness the thrilling contest between these two cricket powerhouses.
