Nottingham Test: Was frustrated over lack of opportunities, very happy I got one in England - KL Rahul

India tour of England: KL Rahul made the most of an opportunity to open the innings for India, hitting a solid 84 in India's first innings against England in the 1st Test that ended as a draw in Nottingham.

India batsman KL Rahul said he is relieved and elated that an opportunity to don the whites and get into competitive action came his way in England. Rahul said he was frustrated over lack of opportunities in Test cricket despite travelling with the squad since the tour of Australia last year. Rahul got an opportunity to play a Test for the first time since August 2019 when he opened the innings along with Rohit Sharma in the recently-concluded first Test of a 5-match series against England in Nottingham.
