Rahul’s performance in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been impressive. So far in this five-match Test series, he has scored 235 runs at an average of 47 and is second in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs. 32-year-old Rahul has proved his ability in difficult conditions and has played an important role for India in this series.
Rahul has scored two consecutive centuries in the Boxing Day Test, and both the centuries came against South Africa. In 2021, he scored 123 runs in Centurion, which led India to a memorable victory. After this, in 2022, he once again played an inning of 101 runs against South Africa.

Rahul started his journey in the Boxing Day Test by debuting against Australia in Melbourne in 2014. However, that match was challenging for him, and he could score only four runs in both the innings. But, now he is fully ready to write his new story in this historic match.
