During the first day of the Test match between India and Afghanistan in New Chandigarh, KL Rahul's performance was marked by a controversial moment. While batting at 37 runs off 70 balls, he appeared to edge a delivery from Ziaur Rahman, but Afghanistan's wicketkeeper Afsar Zazai did not appeal, allowing Rahul to continue his innings. Commentator Graeme Swann humorously remarked that Rahul deserved an Oscar for his acting in that moment. India ended the morning session at 96 for 1, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring 25 runs before being dismissed cheaply. Sai Sudharsan also contributed 32 runs, playing some delightful shots. The Afghan bowling attack, though decent, missed crucial opportunities to dismiss Rahul and Sudharsan, which could have turned the tide in their favor. The day highlighted the importance of effective decision-making in cricket, especially during critical moments like appeals.
