4pm News Network: Team India is not having good days. After suffering a huge Test series victory at the hands of New Zealand, the Indian team is all set to tour Australia.

The Australia A team won the toss and decided to bowl.
Let us tell you that in this match being played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia, one team won the toss and decided to bowl first. Batting first in this match, team India got off to a very bad start. The team lost its 4 wickets in 11 runs. The opening pair, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran, failed to give the team a good start. On the other hand, Easwaran couldn’t even open his account as KL returned to the pavilion after scoring just 4 runs. In this way, KL’s failure continued in Australia as well.

He was caught by wicketkeeper Pearson in his 4-ball innings.
