India's opener KL Rahul's torrid time with the bat continued as he was dismissed for just 9 runs against Netherlands in the team's second outing of the ICC GT20 World Cup. Rahul was yet again off to a sedate start after Rohit Sharma opted to bat first at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Like in the match against Pakistan, Rahul failed to get a big score under his belt as he was dismissed LBW by Paul van Meekeren in the third over of the innings.

Replays later showed that the ball was indeed missing the stumps. Rohit Sharma went on to play some big shots and scored 53 runs to put India's innings back on track.
India had beaten Pakistan in a thrilling match in Melbourne last Sunday to start their campaign with a win.
