Indian opener KL Rahul departed early in the big semi-final encounter against England at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. This comes soon after he showed immense confidence with the bat against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup.

Put in to bat first, KL started the Indian innings with a boundary to Ben Stokes. However, an extra bounce from Chris Woakes in the second over saw KL Rahul going after it only to edge to into the gloves of wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.

KL walked back to the dugout with a score of 5 as India were 9/1 in 1.4 Overs.


Seeing the Indian opener get dismissed early, desi cricket fans did not go easy on KL Rahul. In fact, the batter became the top trending topic on Indian Twitter as soon as he was undone by Woakes.

England booked their spot in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia at the expense of India as the Jos Butler-led side romped to a 10-wicket win over the men in blue in the final four of the tournament.

India registered 169 runs in 20 overs as Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya registered half-centuries, but it proved to be insufficient as the English opening pair of Alex Hales and Butler whacked the Indian bowling attack all over the park en route to their unbeaten 170-run opening wicket stand.
