Twitter reacts to KL Rahul's brilliant innings and his spat with Joe Root

12/18/2016

KL Rahul suffered heartbreak as the opener missed out on his double century by just one run after putting on a dominant display with the bat. The Indian was also involved in a spat with Joe Root when the latter threw the ball right at the Indian batsman during the final Test match in Chennai.

KL Rahul put on a virtuoso display, scoring an incredible 199 runs to take India to 391/4 at the end of Day 3 of the Chennai Test. England tried to fight back by claiming the wickets of Kohli and Pujara for low scores but Nair and Rahul ensured that the Indians finished the day on top.

Brief scores: England 477 (Moeen Ali 146, Joe Root 88, Liam Dawson 66*, Ravindra Jadeja 106/3) lead India 391/4 (KL Rahul 199, Karun Nair 71*) by 86 runs

CONSISTENCY!!

so of the five times K L Rahul has crossed 50 in his 19 Test innings so far, four have been converted into 100s #INDvENG
