India may be down and out of the series but KL Rahul saved the best for the last after he notched his 4th test ton in the Oval test. India were horrified at 2/3 at one stage but Rahul acted as the saviour and stitched a 118-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane to rescue India from an embarrassing situation. He was comfortable facing the pace and bounce that may confirm him in the team for Australia tour.
Rahul brought up his ton by hitting Stokes for a boundary but didn’t showcase any emotion on a momentous occasion.
Cricket fraternity applauded his efforts that still keeps India in the game.

Fabulous century, full of bold, even audacious shots, from KL Rahul. Maybe this style is indeed the way ahead for him.

An absolutely brilliant hundred from KL Rahul. Full of class and exemplary stroke play.

Kl Rahul’s muted celebrations was a sign of the deficit between the expectations n performance in this series. Irrespective, a superb knock and also the reason why he’s special and needs to be persisted with #ENGvIND https://t.co/S6v9HEuefM
