KL Rahul scored 100 runs off 177 balls in first innings of the Lord’s test.

Indian Cricket Team opener KL Rahul has etched his name on the Lord’s honour board for the second time in his test career. The senior batter hit a magnificent century in the ongoing third test of the five-match series against the England Cricket Team. 

KL Rahul, who scored a ton in his last game at the Lord’s in 2021, continued his golden touch with the bat at the venue. Opening the innings in the ongoing third test against England, the right-hander oozed his class and played one of his best test innings. 

KL Rahul, who has looked in decent touch in the ongoing test series, came up with his best innings so far in the series. The right-hander ensured that he took his team off to a great start in response to England’s 387 in the first innings. 

India’s innings didn’t have a great start as Yashasvi Jaiswal got out early. But it was Rahul who provided solidity to the Indian innings. The opening batter displayed a high-class exhibition of batting brilliance as he played some gorgeous shots in his innings and put England under pressure. 

KL Rahul first hit a solid fifty under tough circumstances. When the ball was nipping and moving, he looked great as he negotiated that tricky phase. After that, he made sure that he converted it into a ton and took India to a great position. 

Rahul brought his ton off 176 balls, and this was his 10th test ton. The opening batter, along with Rishabh Pant (74), brought his team back in the game after they were under pressure. However, just after his ton, he got out and ended with the innings of 100 runs off 177 balls.
