KL Rahul scored his first World Cup ton as India beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in Leeds on Saturday, 6 July. After scoring two half-centuries, he scored only his second ODI ton after fellow opener Rohit Sharma scored his fifth in the World Cup.
Though he travelled with the team as a reserve opener, Rahul was batting at the No 4 spot before Shikhar Dhawan’s injury pushed him up the order.
On Saturday, Rahul stitched his third 100-plus partnership with Rohit Sharma in this World Cup as the duo added a 189-run stand while chasing 265 to win.
Meanwhile, Twitter congratulated Rahul for his three-figure score.
