KL Rahul Achieves Big Feat With 26-Run Knock vs Australia In Perth Test

India batter KL Rahul completed 3,000 Test runs on Thursday. Rahul accomplished this milestone during the first Test of the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. During the first innings, KL played a short, but a patient knock of 26 in 74 balls, with three boundaries. However, his knock was cut short by a controversial decision.

The third umpire Richard Illingworth judged him to be out, with the ball hitting his bat.
