The answer to the question of what Virat Kohli will do when he comes out to play the first innings in his comeback match of Ranji Trophy may be yet to come. But, KL Rahul's report card has arrived. KL Rahul returned to the Ranji Trophy pitch after 5 years. But his performance could not make his comeback strong. KL Rahul was batting with his best friend Mayank Agarwal. But he looked bad against him. KL Rahul's comeback on the Ranji pitch after 5 years was very dull as he failed to score runs in 24 balls.

Rahul returns to Ranji Trophy after 5 years

In the match against Haryana which started on January 30, Karnataka came out to bat first. After the first wicket fell at 45 runs, KL Rahul came out to bat first down. This was the first time after 2020 that Rahul was playing a Ranji match. At the other end with him was Mayank Agarwal, who, apart from being the captain of Karnataka, was also a good friend of KL Rahul. But Rahul could not take full advantage of all these opportunities.

Got out after sharing 53 runs with Mayank

KL Rahul had just taken Karnataka's score to 99 runs after making a partnership of 53 runs with Mayank Agarwal, when he got out. This happened when the second session came to play on the first day's play. Rahul, who remained unbeaten after scoring 16 runs in the first session, had just added 10 more runs to his score in the second session when he got out.

No runs were scored in 24 balls, this is Rahul's score

KL Rahul's innings against Haryana was of 37 balls, out of which he played 24 dot balls, meaning he did not score any runs on those balls. KL Rahul scored 26 runs in 37 balls, which included 4 fours.

KL Rahul got out on 26 runs in the first innings. But he still has one innings left in the match, in which he can do something big and make his Ranji comeback interesting. It remains to be seen whether he is able to capitalize on that opportunity or not.
