In the 2014-15 series, the then 22-year-old Rahul, batting at No. 6, had scores of 3 and 1 on debut at the MCG but came back strongly as an opener in the very next game with a eye-catching 110 in Sydney.

After failing to capitalise on their decision to bat first in the first innings, the Jasprit Bumrah-led side bounced back in the second innings with strong batting performance from the top-three - Yashashvi Jasiswal (161), KL Rahul (77) and Virat Kohli (100 not out)

At the break, India reached 275 for 1 in their second innings despite losing KL Rahul's (77) wicket

After the heavy roller was used before play on Day 2 and again after Australia’s first innings ended at 104, India gained a useful 46-run lead, which helped ease the pitch under the scorching sun. This made batting easier for Jaiswal and Rahul, who finished Day 2 unbeaten on 90 and 62, respectively. The pair have put India in a strong position, with their second innings total standing at 172/0 after 57 overs.
