KL Rahul marked his return to international cricket with a blazing half-century during the Asia Cup 2023 Super-Four clash between India and Pakistan.
Rahul, who had been absent from competitive cricket for an extended period, stepped in for Ishan Kishan in the ongoing showdown and made the most of the opportunity.
After the dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, Rahul formed a crucial partnership of over 100 runs with former captain Virat Kohli. This latest fifty is his 14th in one-day internationals.
FIFTY!
