"kl-rahul"

India's chase of 231 went horribly south once Hartley (7/62) spun into India's top-order, igniting a rot that saw India getting bowled out for 202 in the final over of the day.

KL Rahul and Axar Patel were batting on 21 and 17 respectively when tea was called.

Rahul, Jadeja put India in command

Though India lost overnight batters - Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill - in the session, they scored 103 runs in 27 overs

But he was visibly happy after having one of his best days in his 23 Test career.

Rahul said the time away from the game due to injury helped him work on his personality.

The final session began with Elgar and Bedingham taking 41 runs in the first nine overs, with Bumrah, Siraj and Thakur proving to be ineffective in stopping the duo from taking boundaries

KL Rahul continued his love affair with Supersport Park, displaying excellent temperament on a difficult pitch taking India to 208 for 8 in 59 overs when rain forced early stumps

16 years back, legendary MS Dhoni had become the first Indian wicketkeeper to accomplish this milestone.

Sai Sudharsan (55 not out) and Shreyas Iyer (52) then struck fine half centuries to chase down the target in 16.4 overs for the loss of two wickets.

However, stealing the spotlight was Sanju Samson, whose sporadic performances have seen him in and out of the team.

While Shami's inclusion was a big boost to the bowling attack, Suryakumar continued to have a woeful show in the ODI format.

Spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Thursday admitted that the pain of World Cup final defeat to Australia will linger and push him to work harder for the "next opportunity"

The defeat continues to weigh heavily on him and it is evident in his social media post.

Speaking on black marketing of match tickets, he added that they are 'working proactively' to stop this.

Iyer (128 not out off 94 balls) slammed a career-best ODI ton, while KL Rahul (102 off 64 balls) hit the fastest World Cup hundred by an Indian as the duo added 208 runs off 128 balls

When prompted to pick between facing Bumrah and Shami in the nets, KL remarked, "Both pose a lethal challenge."
