KL Rahul was clinical in approach and played a mature knock: Anil Kumble

KL Rahul was clinical in his approach and played a mature knock to thwart the challenge posed by the England bowlers, especially pacer Jofra Archer, on the second day of the third Test at Lord’s, said former India captain Anil Kumble.

Rahul, who scored a century in the first Test, struck his second fifty of the tour — an unbeaten 53 off 113 balls — to keep the England quicks at bay even as he lost partners regularly.

India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (13), Karun Nair (40) and skipper Shubman Gill (16) on day 2 to be 145/3 and trailing the hosts by 242 runs in the first innings. PTI
