Australia vs India 2018-19: Watch - Josh Hazlewood Sends Out-of-Form KL Rahul Packing

It was a perfect start for Australia when their vice-captain Josh Hazlewood struck on his third ball of the opening day of the final and fourth Test match. Hazlewood produced the outside edge of Rahul’s bat and Shaun Marsh took a good low catch at first slip. Consequently, Rahul who had got his chance because of unavailability of Rohit Sharma continued his dismal form going.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul once again got off to an uncertain start. Rahul was beaten on a couple of times by Mitchell Starc in the first over. The stylish right-hander scored nine runs and all of them came off the inside and outside edges.

On the other hand, Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bat first. India has made two changes as KL Rahul has come in for Rohit Sharma whereas Kuldeep Yadav has replaced Ishant Sharma.
