This has proved to be the best series of KL Rahul’s career
Kl rahul vs england: The Indian team had high expectations from KL Rahul before the Test series started against England. The major reason for this was Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s retirement because Rahul became the most senior batsman in the team in the absence of these two veterans. However, in view of his previous record, suspicion was also remained. But from the first Test itself, Rahul proved these doubts wrong and did something inside 4 Tests, which even the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar could never do.
KL Rahul played a great innings on the fourth day of the Manchester Test match between India and England. After trailing by 311 runs from England, Team India lost 2 wickets in the first over itself. The account of Team India was not even open at that time and in such a situation, everyone’s eyes on opener Rahul. But like every match of this series, Rahul once again took over the team and played a tremendous innings.
KL Rahul’s 500 runs complete
On the fourth day of the match, Rahul, along with captain Shubman Gill, shared an unbeaten 174 run partnership. Both of them completed their half-centuries during this period and by the end of the day’s play, Rahul also reached close to the century. During this time, as soon as Rahul reached the score of 79 runs, he completed his 500 runs in this Test series. Rahul crossed this figure in only 8 innings. The special thing is that Rahul achieved this position for the first time in his Test career. Rather, this is the first series, in which Rahul scored more than 400 runs.
Sachin could touch this place throughout his career
This achievement of KL Rahul is also special because even the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar could never reach here. Tendulkar, who has scored the highest run and century in Test cricket, never touched the 500 runs in a Test series in his career 24 years and 200 Tests. The best performance of Sachin’s career came on a tour of Australia in 2007-08, when he scored 493 runs in 8 innings of 4 Tests.
