KL Rahul registered his seventh consecutive fifty in Tests - 90, 51, 67, 60, 51*, 57 & 85 - joint most by any player in Test cricket history and most by an Indian.

After enjoying a great run in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2017, the Karnataka batsman has continued his fine form in Test cricket. The stylish right-hander scored an attacking fifty and put the hosts under pressure.

However, his intent cost him his wicket as he holed out to the mid-on fielder while looking to send one over the ropes. The opener fell short of his hundred by just 15 runs.
