TNI Bureau: When KL Rahul scored his 6th Test Hundred at the Lord’s, he joined a select club of Indian cricketers who have scored Test Hundreds at this ground, considered as ‘Mecca of Cricket’.
Cricket legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar do not figure in the elite list. Virat Kohli has not achieved this feat either although he has a chance to do so. Dilip Vengsarkar has scored 3 hundred at the Lord’s. Sourav Ganguly had scored a hundred at the Lord’s on his debut test.
KL Rahul was batting on 127 at Stumps on Day 1 and was expected to surpass Vinoo Mankad’s 184 – highest by any Indian at the Lord’s. However, he perished at 129 when the play resumed on Day 2.
