It's very, very special: Rahul on Lord's ton

LONDON: Indian opener KL Rahul termed his knock of 129 at Lord's as 'very, very special'. Speaking to his opening partner Rohit Sharma in a video chat posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday, Rahul dubbed as 'the man of the hour' by Sharma, talked about how he felt his return to Test cricket was destined.

"It's very, very special. Not because it was a hundred at Lord's, that adds to the excitement and joy. I have been away from Test cricket for a couple of years now. I have grown up wanting to be a Test cricketer and to play Test cricket. That was the generation I grew in. My father loves Test cricket. My coaches always wanted me to be a Test cricketer. I always wanted to do well in Test cricket," said Rahul.

He added, "Getting dropped from Test cricket was disappointing. It did hurt but I had nobody else to blame but myself. Performances weren't there; I just had to wait for my opportunity. The way it came to me I think it was meant to be for me. Just enjoyed my batting and getting a hundred at Lord's makes it even more special." IANS
