    "editor1": "<p>1st August (CRICKETNMORE) - KL&nbsp;Rahul brilliant century in the second test against West Indies at Sabina Park puts India on the top of the match. This was&nbsp;his&nbsp;third hundred in only his sixth match. He&nbsp;was pleased with his tremendous knock but said he wants to get better with every opportunity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;My mindset was to go out there and play positively. Bowlers bowled really well. The weather was really hot today, so that was the biggest challenge for me. I was cramping and it was tough to cope with the weather but I am really happy with the way I batted,&quot; Rahul said after the second day&#39;s play. Also Read <span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/kl-rahul-is-a-quality-cricketer-says-ashwin--18038\"><span style=\"color:#FF0000;\">Who Gave the nick-name of &quot;Run-Machine&quot; to KL Rahul?<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I would take the three hundreds but obviously want to be more consistent and get better starts for my team. There&#39;s a lot to improve as an opening batsman and provide good starts in every game,&quot; Rahul said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking about his position as an opener he said, &quot;(Murali) Vijay and Shikhar (Dhawan) have been performing well for the country in the last three-four years. My challenge is to compete with them and score runs&nbsp;whenever I get the opportunity.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;In modern-day cricket, you have to be all format player. All the formats are equally challenging. We work really hard in the off season on our game. That&#39;s the challenge we face and we are enjoying it so far,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Saurabh Sharma<\/p>\r\n",
