KL Rahul was dismissed for 100 from 177 balls at Lord's.
India opener KL Rahul scored his second century of the ongoing five-match Test series against England on day three of the third Test at Lord’s on Saturday.
At the end of the day’s play, the Karnataka batter explained the mental preparations he goes through in order to bat long hours. KL Rahul scored a patient 100 runs from 177 balls, hitting 13 fours during his knock.
He was involved in a 141-run partnership with Rishabh Pant for the fourth wicket, with the latter having scored a half-century. “I spent some time with an expert for some mental drills to improve my reaction times. Seen this in Formula One,” KL Rahul said at the press conference after the third day of the third Test on Saturday.
“Worked with coaches who work with F1 guys and adventure sport. That’s the only thing which has been different. I always enjoy batting long hours,” he added.
