'Shubman Gill scored the most runs, but...': India star pushed into Joe Root, Steve Smith territory after England Tests
Few batters in world cricket have divided public opinion like KL Rahul. But when the stalwarts made a sudden exit ahead of the tough English tour, there was a different calm that settled with him at the top of the batting order. Through five gruelling Tests in England, Rahul didn't just rack up runs, he erased doubts. His technique was measured, his shot selection precise, and his impact undeniable. Indian players celebrate after defeating England by 6 runs in the 5th test match, at Kennington Oval stadium in London(@BCCI X) Amidst a series of record-breaking feats, Rahul's return to form was one of India's most compelling storylines, one that former England all-rounder Moeen Ali believes hasn't been given enough credit. 'I think people don't realise how good someone like KL Rahul is, particularly in opening the batting. He was brilliant last series as well in England, and he is brilliant again this series. I actually think Shubman scored the most runs and was outstanding, but I thought KL's role within the side was probably the best I have seen him play over the years," said Moeen the Beard Before Wicket podcast. "He is such a good player, and I genuinely believe that he's one of the best players in the world, and I have said that for a while. Sometimes I just feel he doesn't take the handbrake off, just free up a bit more, but generally I would say he's one of the best players in the world,' Moeen said on the Beard Before Wicket podcast. The 33-year-old scored his ninth Test hundred at Leeds and followed it up with his tenth at Lord's. In doing so, he became the first Indian opener and only the second Indian overall, after Dilip Vengsarkar, to score multiple Test centuries at Lord's. The second hundred was especially significant, as it marked a return to a venue where he had first etched his name on the honours board in 2021. Adil Rashid joins Moeen in praise for Rahul Ali's podcast co-host and former teammate, leg-spinner Adil Rashid, was equally effusive in praise. 'He (KL Rahul) goes under the radar. Like this series, how he has batted, his tempo, his technique. You speak of the art of batting in Test cricket... Going forward, going back, so there is a lot of that in it. It was really tight in defence but then half volleys he drove. That was his game in order. He looked very comfortable and his game was in order. And that's the first time you have probably seen that over a period of five games where he consistently looked right. This guy looks class. He looks really good in defence, in attack,' Rashid said. The series itself was a run-fest. A total of 7,187 runs were scored, making it the second-highest aggregate in any Test series after the 1993 Ashes (7,221 runs). India's own tally of 3,809 runs was also the second-most ever scored by a team in a single series. With 21 centuries across five matches, Ali called it a 'quality' series that delivered high-level cricket from both sides. 'It was one of those series where it was so good to watch and you had such good cricket, like you had Shubman's batting, you had KL's batting, you had Root's batting. It was quality from both sides. It was amazing batting from both sides. And then there were periods of time when the bowling was good. When I look back at this series, there were great partnerships, in particular with regard to batters. Like Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, amazingly well. There was loads of fight and a lot of character shown in this series,' Ali added.

Harry Brook Takes Incredible Flying Catch In Hundred, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Brook is leading the Northern Superchargers in the 2025 edition of The Hundred. In his first match of the new season, he scored an unbeaten 25 runs as a No. 4 batter. England's white-ball captain Harry Brook, after starring with the bat in the five-match Test series against India, is now playing in the Hundred. He took the field for Northern Superchargers on Thursday (August 7) against Welsh Fire at Headingley in Leeds and scored an unbeaten 25 runs from just 15 balls to help his side win the contest by 8 wickets. Before coming out to bat at No. 4 in the 144-run chase, 26-year-old Brook made headlines in the game for his super fielding effort. On the 88th ball of the match, he completed an incredible flying catch of Saif Zaib off Imad Wasim's bowling. In a video going viral on the internet, Northern Superchargers captain Brook can be seen flying and taking an unbelievable catch with his right hand. Brook, who succeeded Jos Buttler as England's white-ball captain in May 2025, would like to come up with good performances with the bat and on the field as well in the coming matches for the Northern Superchargers and help them end their wait for their first-ever Hundred title. Brook played all five Tests for England in the 2025 edition of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and, with the help of two centuries (158 and 111) and as many fifties (99 and 53), scored a total of 481 runs in nine innings. He scored 99 runs in the first innings of the series opener played at Headingley from June 20 to 24 but got out for a duck in the second innings. In the second Test, he hammered 158 runs in the first innings and added 303 runs for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith (184*) but failed to help his side from losing the match by a record margin of 336 runs in Birmingham. In the third and fourth Tests, Brook was not able to contribute much with the bat and got out for scores of 11, 23 and 3 runs, but in the fifth and final Test, which was played from July 31 to August 4, he impressed with his batting in both innings. In the first, he scored 53 runs from 64 balls to help the English team take a crucial lead of 23 runs, and in the second, he hammered 111 runs from just 98 balls after coming out to bat at No. 5 in the 374-run chase. For his superb batting performances in the first home series of the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle, Brook won England's Player of the Series award. view comments First Published: August 08, 2025, 07:21 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
