IND vs Eng Test Series: The Test series between India and England may have moved towards a draw, but on this tour, KL Rahul has done so amazing, which will be remembered for the next several years. The experienced opener achieved the achievement on the land of England which could not do any opener in the world. Rahul has become the highest run -scorer on England soil in 22 years.
Rahul’s strong performance in the series
Even though KL Rahul’s bat has been silent in the last Test match being played at the Oval, London, but he has performed tremendous batting on the entire England tour. In the five -match series, Rahul played a total of 10 innings, with a total of 532 runs at an average of 53.20. His innings includes two brilliant centuries and two half -centuries. His best score in this series is 137 runs.
From Leeds to Manchester, he gave a strong start to the Indian team in every Test. In the first innings of the Manchester Test, Rahul scored a brilliant 90 runs, while his half -century and century in Leeds and Lord’s strengthened India’s foundation.
Could not repeat the form in oval test
However, Rahul could not catch his rhythm in the final match of the series. In the first innings, he returned to the pavilion after scoring just 14 runs, while in the second innings he scored only 7 runs. Overall, he could add only 21 runs in the Oval Test.
Record created after 22 years
With this Test series, Rahul has become the highest run -scorer in a series on England soil. Earlier, this record was in the name of former South African captain Grem Smith, who scored 714 runs in England in 2003. Since then, no opener had touched 500 runs in a series in England.
During this time, Rahul has overtaken veteran openers like Virender Sehwag, Matthew Hayden, Rohit Sharma, Elter Cook, and Andrew Strauss. This achievement suggests that how reliable Rahul has emerged as an opener under foreign circumstances.
