Scored a century while opening

This is the 19th century of his first class career. With this, KL Rahul has now staked his claim for opening in the Test series against England. KL Rahul can also become the permanent opener of Team India because Rohit Sharma has retired from this format.

Dhruv Jurel also hit a half-century

However, Yashasvi, who came to open with KL Rahul in this match, could not perform. Jaiswal was given out LBW off Chris Woakes. It was a controversial decision and Jaiswal did not agree with the umpire's decision. He also argued with the umpire. However, there was no DRS in this match so he had to return. Jaiswal scored 17 runs.

There was a search for a new opener

After Rohit Sharma retired from Tests, the question was who would open with Jaiswal in England. Rahul has answered this question by scoring a century. Rahul is an experienced player and has opened against England before as well. He has strengthened his claim to open by scoring a century.
