In what might be considered his finest international batting display, he scored an impressive 101 out of India’s total of 245, comprising 14 fours and four sixes, all on a pitch heavily favoring the fast bowlers.
Rahul showcased remarkable composure as he crafted a brilliant hundred, bringing a glimmer of hope to the Indian team amidst the growing tension at SuperSport Park.
