KL Rahul looked in great touch in his first match of the season in England, playing a calm yet study innings against the England Lions. After a good start, Rahul slowly got into his rhythm and started to play his shots with confidence. By Tea, he was unbeaten on 93 runs from 143 balls , just seven short of a well-deserved century.

He took his time early on, reaching his half-century in 102 balls. But once he got past fifty, Rahul looked much more comfortable at the crease.
His strokes became fluent, and he started finding the gaps with ease. The England Lions bowlers, who had kept things tight early, began to feel the pressure as Rahul stepped up the pace.

India crossed the 200-run mark with Rahul leading the charge.
His shot selection, footwork, and patience stood out. It was the kind of innings that reminded everyone of his experience and class especially in English conditions where batting can be tricky.

Play was delayed in the morning due to some lost time, but the teams tried to make up for it during the day.
As the Tea break was taken after 52 overs, it was Rahul’s solid knock that stood as the highlight of the session. With just a few runs to go for a century, Rahul looks set for a big one. If he continues in this form, it will be a strong start to what could be a memorable tour for him.
