Twitter reacts as Rahul wastes a good start again and Pujara's "Half-marathon"

03/26/2017

K.L.Rahul scored his 5th half-century of the series but yet again failed to convert it into a big score. Cheteshwar Pujara was en-route to another marathon innings before he was dismissed by Nathan Lyon for 57. The Twitterati had fun at Pujara's expense for his slow strike rate in Dharamsala.

Brief scores: Australia 300/10 (Smith 111, Wade 57; Kuldeep 4/68) lead India 248/6 (Rahul 60, Pujara 57; Lyon 4/67) by 52 runs.

Pujara's innings = Nap time!

Well, we all have that one guy in our class!

K Rahul is like that student who is very talented but just doesn't have the ability to study for longer hours with concentration #IndvAus

Now we know why Rahul is not converting those 50s! :P

Rahul should be proud as he has done something that Sachin has done!

Indians with at least one 50+ in all Tests of a series v AUS:

Sachin Tendulkar, 2007/08

Murali Vijay, 2014/15

Can't blame Cummins for any action that he might take today
