Aakash Chopra discusses if KL Rahul’s century was one of the finest
Aakash Chopra believes that the inclusion of KL Rahul‘s century among the finest Test innings by an Indian would be determined by how the media promotes it.
Rahul hit 101 runs off 137 deliveries in India’s 245-run first-innings total against South Africa at Centurion. The Proteas finished the second day of play on Wednesday (December 27) with a 256/5 advantage.
In a video posted to his YouTube account, Chopra praised Rahul for his fighting century and stated that external circumstances will determine the quality of the knock.
Rahul was the first visitor batsman in Centurion to reach two Test hundreds. The Karnataka batter’s two Test hundreds in the Rainbow Nation are tied for the equal second-most by an Indian, with Virat Kohli. With five hundred, Sachin Tendulkar heads the group.
“Almost flawless knock,” says Aakash Chopra of Dean Elgar’s century
Aakash Chopra believes India scored below par and that Dean Elgar’s unbroken century exacerbated their troubles.
However, the cricketer-turned-commentator believes that if the visitors knock South Africa out for close to 300 runs, they would be able to stay in the game.
Chopra chose Prasidh Krishna’s inability to establish his rhythm as one of India’s roadblocks.
He also stated that Rohit Sharma and his team made a tactical blunder by beginning the post-lunch session with Krishna and Shardul Thakur.
