SA vs IND : Top 3 Century-Makers in South Africa vs India Test Series

3. KL Rahul

We all know that India was given a thrashing in the first Test but it could have been even worse had it not been for KL Rahul‘s sublime century in the first innings. Rahul’s 101 rescued India, allowing them to remain in the game with a total of 245. All the other Indian batters failed and at one point it seemed like India would be bowled out for under 100 runs. As such, Rahul’s patience, judgment, and class stood out.

The innings was not without blemishes but Rahul made the most of his chances and did not spare any loose balls. The fact that he was making a comeback and batting in the middle order for the very first time made it sweeter. Rahul received a lot of praise and appreciation from fans and pundits alike and his knock is sure to go down as one of the best overseas hundreds by an Indian batter,
