BENGALURU (Reuters) - India opener Lokesh Rahul must improve his temperament and put a bigger price on his wicket, the team's batting coach Sanjay Bangar said on Monday.

The 24-year-old scored his third half-century of the series against Australia and the second of the match at his home venue at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in the second test on Monday but has been often criticised for playing injudicious shots.
