Sat Dec 07 02:42:15 UTC 2024: ## Rahul Survives No-Ball and Drop in Thrilling Start to Adelaide Test
**Adelaide, Australia (December 6, 2024)** – A dramatic start to the first day of the day-night Test between India and Australia saw Indian opener KL Rahul escape dismissal twice in a single over. Rahul, who partnered with Yashasvi Jaiswal, appeared to edge Scott Boland’s delivery to the keeper, only for the ball to be called a no-ball. The reprieve was even more surprising as Snicko showed no edge. Further adding to the drama, Usman Khawaja dropped a simple catch off Rahul in the slips, offering the batsman another lifeline. While Rahul eventually fell for 37 runs, his early survival added significant tension to an already gripping opening session.
India, winning the toss and electing to bat, made three changes to their lineup. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Ravichandran Ashwin came in, replacing Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel, and Washington Sundar respectively. India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, was dismissed early, leaving Rahul to face the Australian onslaught. Mitchell Starc claimed Rahul’s wicket later in the innings. The match continues.
