India secured a convincing victory over Bangladesh in the opening Test in Chennai, but former cricketer Aakash Chopra highlighted potential decisions that could have benefitted KL Rahul. Despite the win by 280 runs, Chopra suggested that captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir might have afforded Rahul more time to settle at the crease, especially given his struggles under scrutiny.
In his innings, Rahul appeared composed, scoring 16 runs off 52 balls in the first innings and 22 off 19 in the second before Rohit declared at 287/4. Chopra noted that with ample time remaining in the match, it would not have been detrimental to allow Rahul a chance to accumulate more runs.
