KL Rahul starts England tour with century, massive relief for India ahead of five-match Test marathon

KL Rahul is one of India’s most improved Test batters in the last year. At one point, the Karnataka batter was dropped from the playing XI and there was plenty of uncertainty over his future in the format. However, Rahul worked tremendously hard on his red-ball game and proved his worth at the top order and also in the middle, whenever it was required. Now, after Rohit Sharma’s retirement, Rahul is expected to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Test cricket and the upcoming England tour will be his first major assignment.
