Worrying trend: Rahul's poor practice of throwing away assured starts

KL Rahul's promising start of 37 runs in the Adelaide Test against Australia ended in frustration as he was caught by Nathan McSweeney off Mitchell Starc's bowling. This continues a pattern for the 32-year-old opener, who frequently fails to convert solid starts into substantial scores, impacting his Test average of 34.26 despite showing initial promise.
