India vs Eng 2nd Test: KL Rahul emulates coach Ravi Shastri with THIS record, draws applause from social media

KL Rahul in partnership with Rohit Sharma (83) became the first Indian opening pair after 1952 to post a century partnership at Lord’s.

KL Rahul became just the second Indian opener after current head coach Ravi Shastri in 1990 to score a century at Lord’s. Rahul notched up his sixth Test ton in 37 Tests – an innings of immense patience, reaching his 50 off 137 balls and then powering on a century off 175 deliveries. Even the ‘home of cricket’ Lord’s welcomed Rahul’s addition to the ‘honours board’ and tweeted a video of Indian team’s appreciation for the Karnataka opener’s knock on the opening day of second Test against England on Thursday (August 12).
