IND vs ENG 1st Test: KL Rahul shows class with gritty ton
KL Rahul held the Indian innings together in a resolute display of Test match batting at the Headingley Stadium in Leeds. Having lost Yashasvi Jasiwal early, Rahul joined hands with Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill on Day 3 to end up unbeaten on 47. India were soon restricted to 92/3 early on Day 4 with Gill dismissed in the second over of the day.
Rahul, who scored some free flowing drives, cut down his scoring to build a strong foundation with vice-captain Rishabh Pant. Much like former teammate Cheteshwar Pujara, the Indian opener held one end, making the England bowlers grind on a cold and windy day in Headingley.
It was only late in Lunch that Rahul opened the floodgates. He pulled Shoaib Bashir for a boundary and played a late cut off Brydon Carse to move into the 90s. He eventually reached the landmark in 202 balls, his third Test century on English soil.
