IND V SA: KL Rahul’s Hundred In Centurion Amongst Top Ten Centuries In India Test History, Says Gavaskar

KL Rahul: Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar lavished rich praise on KL Rahul after scoring his eighth Test hundred on day two of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park, saying he would place the wicketkeeper-batter’s knock of 101 amongst top ten centuries in Indian Test cricket history.

Batting for just the second time in the middle-order in Tests after nine years, Rahul mixed caution and aggression well enough to counter the bounce and swinging ball while pouncing on the loose deliveries, as he took India from 121/6 to a respectable score of 245, through his knock of 101.

“I have been watching cricket since 50 years, I can surely say this hundred by Rahul is in the top ten in the Indian history of Tests, because this is a different kind of pitch. Here, a batter would never have the confidence that he is set. The ball can do anything anytime.”
