KL Rahul achieves rare feat at Lord's after 43 years & first since Dilip Vengsarkar; here's a complete list

KL Rahul etched his name in to the Lord's honour's board once again after the Indian wicketkeeper became the first Indian after 43 years to score multiple Test hundreds at this iconic venue on Saturday. Rahul, who had scored a hundred in the first Test of the series against England in Leeds, reached this three-figure mark in 176 balls, laced with 13 fours.

In doing so, Rahul became only the second Indian after former cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar to score more than two hundreds at Lord's. Vengsarkar scored three hundreds at Lord's - 103 (1979), 157 (1982) and 102 not out (1986). Rahul's previous hundred at Lord's came in 2021.

It was Rahul's 10th hundred in Test cricket and ninth outside India. The stylish right-hander has scored hundreds in England (four), South Africa (two), Australia, Sri Lanka, and West Indies (one each). Rahul had also scored a hundred in the first Test in Leeds.
