    In a mere 100 balls, KL Rahul etched his name into cricketing history, achieving this remarkable milestone in his very first international match after a prolonged injury-induced hiatus. This monumental feat further solidified his place among the illustrious Indian batsmen who have achieved centuries against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. His name now resounds alongside the cricketing luminaries of Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rohit Sharma.

    KL Rahul concluded his innings in unbeaten glory, amassing a total of 111 runs, while Virat Kohli dazzled with an impressive 122 not out. These extraordinary individual performances propelled India to a commanding total of 356 for 2 in their allotted 50 overs.

    KL Rahul’s approach against the formidable Pakistan bowling attack radiated aggression and determination. His partnership with Virat Kohli, culminating in a formidable 200-plus run alliance for the third wicket, highlighted the exceptional synergy between the two.

    Rahul’s innings was a masterclass in finesse and skill as he adeptly tackled both pacers and spinners, consistently applying pressure on Babar Azam’s resolute squad. He notched up his fifty in a mere 60 deliveries and relentlessly accelerated his scoring thereafter.

    Crucially, Rahul exuded confidence in confronting the Pakistani spinners, effectively countering part-timer Iftikhar and leg-spinner Shadab Khan. His performance also underscored improved fitness after recuperating from injury, evident in his vigorous running between the wickets.

    In the latter phase of the innings, KL Rahul embraced the role of the aggressor, diligently increasing the scoring rate while Kohli assumed the anchor’s mantle. Together, they unleashed a flurry of boundaries, sustaining a heightened level of intensity.
