Rahul-Pant Show Lights Up Headingley
Meanwhile, this wasn’t just another century by Rahul. With India looking to pile on a massive lead against England in the 1st Test at Leeds, Rahul has delivered under pressure and has scored an unbeaten 111 off 216 balls at the time of writing this article.
While KL Rahul was the picture of patience and poise, Rishabh Pant provided the fireworks with his incredible hitting. The duo put on a 150-run partnership for the 4th wicket with Pant batting on 98*.
The pair have already pushed India’s lead to 267 runs with England gasping for breakthroughs. India will look to up the ante and increase their lead quickly to give their bowlers more time to bowl England out.
