LONDON: KL Rahul seemed disappointed out for 129 of the second ball he faced against England on Friday.
But at least the opening had a consolation to join a group of certain Indians to print the test century in the ‘Cricket’ house list, surprisingly, not including hitting the big Sachin Tendulkar.
Ten Indian Bats have now scored 12 tests of hundreds of them in God, with Dilip Vengsarkar achieving achievements three times, each in a separate tour.
Indian Batsmen have scored a test of one hundred in Lord’s (Year, Player, Scores): 1952 Vinoo Mad 184 1979 Gundappa Viswanath 113 1979 Diped Vengsarkar 103 1986 Deep Vengsarkar 126 No 1990 Mohammad Azharuddin 121 1996 Sourav Ganguly 131 2002 Ajit Agarkar 109 No 2011 Rahul Dravid 103 No.
