Kl Rahul took 3211 days to register his second Test a hundred at home when the Indian opener reached three digits in 190 balls on the second day of the first Test against West Indies at Narendra Modi Stadium. Rahul, who begins the day on his overnight score of 53, continued his sublime form during the first session to reach his landmark with a single Roston Chase in the 65th of the Indian innings. In the process, Rahul recorded an unwanted record for a longest gap through the Indian batter between two hundreds on home land in tests. The previous record was held by the now retired Ravichandran Ashwin who took between 2013 and 2021 2655 days. The last time Rahul scored a hundred at home was against England on Chepauk in 2016. In addition, Rahul took 26 innings between his two Test hundreds at home, equal to those like Ajay Rahane, Polly Umrigar, Kapil Devilya Rahane. Ashwin, 36, holds the record for most two tests for hundreds of tests, followed by Syed Kirmani (32) and Chandu boards (27). Rahul was finally discharged in the first time after lunch, when he was caught by Justin Greaves on a short outdoor lid of Jomel Warrican’s bowling. He returned for 100 of 197 balls, with 12 fours.
