Twitter reactions to brilliant KL Rahul century at Lord’s | Fans react to superb KL Rahul century on day one of second Test vs England
KL Rahul, the red-ball batsman, is well and truly back. Brought back into the India side because of injuries to Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal, Rahul has made the opening position his own with fantastic performances across the first two Tests against a capable England attack.
His 127* on the first day of the Lord’s Test was particularly impressive. Sent into bat in overcast conditions and on a pitch that offered movement for the bowlers, Rahul displayed terrific technique and patience to bat through the entire 90 overs. His approach of playing the line and playing the ball late was a batting masterclass, and his ability to accelerate his scoring in the final session is a sign of a special talent.
India finished day one in a strong position courtesy of Rahul, Rohit Sharma and important runs from Virat Kohli. India’s 276/3 is a fantastic result after losing the toss in circumstances where the expected score was 244/9. With Rahul in fine touch, and the likes of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja to come, India will be aiming for a score of 450+ in the first innings.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions to KL Rahul’s fine knock.
