“It was the first day of my Test career,” KL Rahul recalled. “I debuted in MCG and I was fielding that day. It was the 89th over, it was the last over of the day and [Mohammed] Shami was bowling to [Brad] Haddin.”
“He had him in a bit of a problem, hit him on his elbow and chest and he was struggling a little bit. I was at short-leg and I said something to Brad Haddin as he went off.”
“He got offended – he said a few things and I said a few things. On the way back, he said ‘be careful, [Mitchell] Johnson might break your head tomorrow. You are still young.’ I said something back to him.”
“In the dressing room, when we were showering, MS [Dhoni] asked me ‘KL did you say something to him?’ I said ‘Yeah. I said something.'”
“Dhoni then replied ‘Okay. That’s fine,” KL Rahul concluded. “It’ll be better if you can plug in some cotton in your ears when you go to bat, because you are going to get a lot.’ The way he said it was very funny.”
