Setbacks are a part of every athlete’s career but physical burdens can turn out mentally exhausting. Eyeing to make a strong comeback in red-ball cricket, Rahul’s brisk start culminated in a soft dismissal, leaving the fans dejected on the first day of the first Test in Chennai.

Trying to make the most out of the overhead conditions, Bangladesh’s decision to field first worked well in their favor. Hasan Mahmud’s precisive line benefitted the touring party with the early scalps of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli. Although Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal withstood against the opposition until Lunch, the wicketkeeper-batter faltered right after the resumption of play. Trying to extend the innings deep, Rahul looked scratchy in his play before following Yashasvi Jaiswal back to the hut halfway through the second session and adding to India’s injuries.

The second ball of the 43rd over saw Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowl a flighted fuller delivery at the middle stump line that turned into the right-hander. Rahul tried to clip it past short leg region but the ball came off the inside half towards the close-in fielder. Zakir Hasan there swerved to his right and grabbed the ball with firm hands, adding to the tally of India’s tally of wickets. With six wickets down and following suit Jaiswal in a space of four balls, Rahul was seen dejected, and so were the fans at the venue and the Twitterverse.
