He was dismissed in controversial circumstances. He was caught behind by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Mitchell. However, the question was whether sound in the snickometer came due to ball hitting the bat or his bat hitting the pad. 

He was initially given not out by the on-field umpire after hosts appealed for a caught-behind dismissal. Later, upon review, the third umpire adjudged Rahul to have nicked the ball following a spike on UltraEdge, despite the bat appearing to hit the pad at the same moment.
