KL Rahul was not a happy man on his return to the Indian side after a short break against West Indies in the second ODI at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium. This was due to a mid-pitch confusion with partner Suryakumar Yadav which caused Rahul to get run out.

India were reeling at 43/3 when Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav were in the middle and they slowly and steadily helped India regain a footing in the match. When the duo looked like they would cement the partnership and help India muster a good total, Rahul fell.

Then Deepak Hooda’s 29 off 25 deliveries helped India go past the 225-run mark.
