In the thrilling 5-Test match series ongoing between India and England, several players are attracting attention with their performances. Young batsman Shubman Gill, with the most runs so far, has established himself as the new batting backbone of Team India.
Sports News: Star Indian cricketer KL Rahul has a golden opportunity to create history in the fourth match of the ongoing Test series against England. All eyes will once again be on this stylish opening batsman in the match to be played in Manchester. KL Rahul is just 11 runs away from completing 1000 Test runs in England.
As soon as he crosses this mark, he will join the list of select Indian legends, including names like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sunil Gavaskar.
New History Could Be Added to KL Rahul's Name
KL Rahul has played 12 Test matches in England so far and has scored 989 runs at an average of 41.20, including 4 brilliant centuries. As soon as Rahul adds 11 more runs in the fourth Test of this tour, he will become the fourth Indian batsman to score 1000 Test runs on English soil. Before him, only Sachin Tendulkar (1575 runs), Rahul Dravid (1376 runs), and Sunil Gavaskar (1152 runs) have reached this milestone. This achievement of KL Rahul will not only be important for his career but will also add a significant chapter to Indian cricket history.
KL Rahul's Performance on the England Tour So Far
In the ongoing 5-Test match series against England, KL Rahul is playing the role of a troubleshooter for India. So far, he has scored 375 runs in 3 Test matches at an average of 62.50. Rahul played a brilliant century innings of 107 runs in the Leeds Test, which gave India a b start. After this, he played a responsible innings of 55 runs in the second innings of the Edgbaston Test.
At the same time, in the first innings of the Lord's Test, Rahul scored 100 runs off 177 balls, putting India in a b position. However, he was dismissed for just 39 runs in the second innings. With 375 runs so far in this series, KL Rahul is fourth among the highest run-scorers for India.
Important Match for the Indian Team
India is trailing 1-2 in this Test series. In such a situation, the fourth Test match starting in Manchester from July 23 will be like a do-or-die situation for India. By winning this match, India can not only level the series, but KL Rahul also has a golden opportunity to prove himself once again and create history.
Both the Indian team management and the captain will be hoping for another b innings from KL Rahul in this Test so that Team India can make a comeback in the series on English soil.

The conditions in England have always been challenging for Indian batsmen. Scoring runs consistently here and crossing the 1000-run mark is considered a major achievement for any batsman. If KL Rahul achieves this feat, he will not only be included in the list of India's great batsmen, but it will also be a historic moment in his career.
Joining the club of legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sunil Gavaskar is a dream of every Indian batsman, and KL Rahul is very close to this dream.
