India veteran batter KL Rahul smashed his 10th Test century during the third Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 against England at iconic Lord's Stadium in London. The 33-year-old wicketkeeper batter said that he was proud to contribute a crucial hundred at Lord’s on Saturday, calling it a “very special” moment in his career.
India opener scored a composed 100 on Day 3 of the third Test, helping the Shubman Gill-led side to a first-innings total of 387. After the game, the BCCI shared a video where Rahul reflected on his innings and what it meant to score at the iconic venue.
“I don't build it up in my head too much. I try to focus on my job, and my job was to get the team off to a good start,” Rahul said. “Very good knock, very important in the context of the game. Really happy to put up this performance.”
This was KL Rahul's second Test century at the iconic venue. His last Test ton at Lord's came during India's tour of England in 2021.
“Everything about Lord’s makes it that much more special. The legacy, the history. Every time you walk into Lord’s, you are reminded of the legacy and history of cricket,” Rahul added.
With his second Test century at Lord's, KL Rahul becomes the second ever Indian cricketer who smash more than one ton at the venue. The wicketkeeper batter is among the 10 Indians who scored a century at Lord's and is only the second to smash two centuries at the mecca of cricket. Dilip Vengsarkar is the only cricketer who has smashed three centuries at the venue.
