KL Rahul Just 11 Runs Away from 1,000 Test Runs in England
Indian opener KL Rahul needs only 11 more runs to reach 1,000 Test runs on English soil—joining an elite group of Indian greats. This milestone could be achieved during the upcoming 4th Test at Old Trafford, starting July 23.
Current Statistics
To date, KL Rahul has scored 989 runs in 12 Tests (24 innings) in England at an average of 41.20. With four centuries and two fifties—including a top score of 149—he is nearing a rare accomplishment for Indian overseas players.
Joining Legendary Company
Only three Indian batters have breached the 1,000-run mark in England so far:
Batter | Runs in England | Tests Played |
---|---|---|
Sachin Tendulkar | 1,575 | 17 |
Rahul Dravid | 1,376 | 13 |
Sunil Gavaskar | 1,152 | 16 |
KL Rahul (so far) | 989 | 12 |
Once he crosses the line, he’ll become the fourth Indian to join this prestigious list.
Form in the Ongoing Series
KL Rahul has accumulated 375 runs in the series so far at an average of 62.50, including two centuries and a half-century. He is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the series and has rediscovered the form that made him one of India’s most reliable openers abroad.
