Team India is facing Australia in their first warm-up match on Monday before opening their ICC T20 World Cup 2022 campaign. During the match, Indian opener KL Rahul appeared to use the cuss word after cracking his bat in Marcus Stoinis' over.
Ahead of their opening Super 12 fixture against Pakistan, Team India is scheduled to play two warm-up matches against Australia and New Zealand respectively.
Batting first, the Men in Blue opened the innings on a high note as KL Rahul was smashing Australian bowlers out of the park with ease. On the fifth ball of the third over, KL Rahul uttered, "F**k Yaar" as his bat cracked after playing a shot on the previous delivery.

The Indian vice-captain smashed two boundaries and one six already in the third over before the penultimate delivery of the over hit the bottom of his bat. KL Rahul and skipper Rohit Sharma took two runs as the 30-year-old batter expressed his frustration with his cracked bat.
KL Rahul smashed 57 runs off 33 balls continuing his good form against Australia in the warmup match after scoring a half-century against West Australia in the practice game. Later, Rahul got dismissed in the eighth over on Glenn Maxwell's third delivery as Ashton Agar grabbed a catch on deep midwicket.
