Former Indian cricketer has laid forth advise for KL Rahul following his late dismissal on first day of Nagpur Test. KL Rahul cut out a disappointing figure at end of day's play on Day 1. opening batsman gave a steady start to India along with Rohit Sharma but could t carry forward rhythm to Day 2. 30-year-old scored 20 of 71 balls.

Harbhajan Singh, who via his Youtube channel has been constantly discussing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, gauged day 1 of Nagpur Test. While he took up many aspects, one such aspect was KL Rahul's dismissal before stumps. Singh said that KL Rahul could have survived day had he showcased and approached his innings with a more attacking character. 

"KL Rahul would be disappointed as he was taking more time. I believe if he could have kept an attacking approach n he could have scored more. I hope in second innings if he gets chance to bat, he will score some runs for his confidence," Harbhajan Singh said while speaking on his official YouTube channel.

"I am hoping that India scores 300-350 on this pitch": Harbhajan Singh

About current situation of game, former off-spinner backed Rohit Sharma and said if India could go past 300 on second day n it would be difficult for Aussies to come back. "I am hoping that India scores 300-350 on this pitch. Captain Rohit Sharma started a great inning (and) is t out with more than 50 runs. If India scores anywhere near 350 n I doubt Australia will be able to score more than 200 in second innings. more you bowl on this pitch, more it will spin. If it spins n Australia will surrender against India's three spinners," he added.

On Day Australia bundled out for 177 and in reply, India ended day's play on 77 for 1. As of w with Day 2 yet to culminate match hangs in balance as India currently leads Australia by 73 runs. India is at 250-7* at moment.
