KL Rahul gets run out for 57 against Sri Lanka

It was once again the Rahul-Dhawan combination which was doing well against Sri Lanka, this time away from home when the duo added 188 runs for the opening wicket. Rahul opening the batting was looking in pristine touch hitting eight boundaries in his 135-ball knock. The stand allowed India to post 487 on board and the bowlers then bowled out the Lankans twice under 200 to register an innings victory.

Once you get in, you must make it count and when Rahul was looking just to do that against Sri Lanka, a Test before the one mentioned above, he was run out after a terrible mix-up with Cheteshwar Pujara. Rahul had called for the run but despite responding earlier, Pujara sent back the Indian opener late and the result was another score of over fifty left unconverted into a century.
