Rahul completed his second Test century in India on Friday (October 3) by taking a single on the fifth ball of the 65th over.
KL Rahul is playing as an opener for Team India in the ongoing first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad, and on Day 2 of the match taking place at Narendra Modi Stadium, he ended his nine-year-long wait to score his second Test century in India. Rahul needed 190 balls to cross the 100-run mark in India’s first innings of the ongoing red-ball match. He has hammered 12 fours so far.
Rahul scored his first Test century in India against England at MA Chidambaram Stadium in December 2016. In that match he scored 199 runs from 311 balls in India’s first innings and hammered 16 fours and 3 sixes during his stay at the crease.
3211 days gap between the first and second Test hundred at home for KL Rahul — the longest such gap for an Indian batter between two centuries at home, the previous longest being Ravichandran Ashwin’s 2655 days between 2013 & 2021.
