England’s tour for Indian star opener KL Rahul has been quite spectacular so far. He is scoring runs in almost every match. Something similar was seen in the Manchester Test. After scoring 46 runs in the first innings of this match, he continued his form in the second innings as well. In the second innings, the Indian team lost 2 wickets without opening an account. After this, Rahul worked to handle the innings and once again crossed the 50 -run mark. During this match, he took a big record.
KL Rahul created history
KL Rahul showed such a feat during this match, which only Sunil Gavaskar could do before. During this match, Rahul completed 1000 runs as an opener while playing Test cricket in England. Let me tell you, he is just the second Asian opener who has scored 1000 Test runs in England. KL Rahul has done this feat in just 24 innings under the difficult conditions of England. At the same time, Gavaskar had 1152 runs in 28 innings. Apart from these two players, no Asian opener has done this feat in England.
Vijay Merchant and Sadiq Mohammad are named after Gavaskar and KL Rahul in terms of scoring the most runs as an Asian opener in England. Vijay Merchant scored 527 runs in 11 innings and 522 runs in Sadiq Mohammad 15 innings. However, Rahul has set a new standard by leaving these veterans behind with his consecutive good innings. Crossing KL Rahul, now Sunil Gavaskar is also a big opportunity to leave behind in this list.
Rahul’s bat running fiercely
This series has been very memorable for KL Rahul so far. Playing as an opener, he has scored runs in every match. In the first match of the series, he scored 42 runs and 137 runs. At the same time, 2 runs and 55 runs were scored in the second match. Then played 100 runs and 39 runs in the third Test. Now in the Manchester Test too, he has played an important innings for the team.
