246/4 - India well set for a target over 300 for the second time in the series as New Zealand’s bowling attack looked out of sorts towards the end of the innings. On the other hand, Manish Pandey and KL Rahul were building a partnership that almost took the game away from the home side with a 50 plus run partnership. However, yet again, India found a way to gift the Kiwis an easy wicket - a run-out for the fifth time in the series. After knocking Santner on the leg-side, Pandey called Rahul for a risky single. Tom Latham was quick to pounce on the loose ball and threw the ball straight towards Santner to complete the easiest of run-outs.
However, the recurrent theme of the series, New Zealand’s brain-fade or choke-job was evident in the passage of play. Before collecting the ball, Santner, in his enthusiasm, had already knocked the stumps with his knees thereby dislodging the bails. This meant that, by the time the ball actually ended up in his hands, he had to take the stump out of its groove with Pandey struggling. Santner choked once again to just knock the timber with the ball and not take it out of the groove. Pandey’s ‘beda’ (No) combined with Rahul’s quick running between the wickets nearly resulted in an easy run-out.
This is what happened!

K L Rahul in such roaring form not being part of the Test squad is an anomaly. Kindest way I can put it.

A reliable name! :)
Maybe the name Rahul for Indian Cricket says that they are always ready to do whatever the role the team gives them.

It's so pleasing to see KL Rahul & Manish Pandey talking in Kannada when both were at crease.
