<h2>What happened with Rahane?</h2>

Playing at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC in Mumbai, during the second session of Day 1, Rahane was called back to crease after 'obstructing the field' dismissal. He hit a straight drive and opted to take a single, however, he was sent back by non striker&nbsp;Shivam Dube, and as he was returning to his crease,&nbsp;he got in the way of a throw from the midfielder Denish Das and was given out for obstructing the field.

According to Rahane he had no intention of obstructing the field and was stranded in the middle. Considering the situation, Assam players opted to withdraw the appeal and recalled Rahane back to bat, in the good spirit of the game. The former India captain was later dismissed for 22 by Rahul Singh when he was bowled, while Shivam Dube scored an unbeaten 101.
