India vs England: KL Rahul achieves rare feat, equals Rahul Dravid at Oval

Lokesh Rahul completed a brilliant catch to dismiss Stuart Broad off Ravindra Jadeja (4-79) shortly after the lunch break to end the 98-run stand for the ninth wicket.

KL Rahul entered the cricket history books on Saturday when he took an athletic catch at mid-on to dismiss Stuart Broad on Day 2 of the fifth Test match between India and England at the Oval.

The dismissal was KL Rahul’s 13th catch of the series and no other cricketer has done that in England. The previous record belonged to South Africa’s John Ikin who took 12 catches way back in 1951.

Broad went for an aggressive shot but the ball connected with the top edge of his bat and went high up in the air. Rahul, who was positioned at mid-on, ran back, leaped forward and grabbed catch number 13 of the series. After the catch, Rahul showed one and three with his fingers to mark his achievement.

During the third Test match at Trent Bridge, KL Rahul broke another record by taking seven catches in an innings - the most by any non-wicketkeeper in a Test in England and the joint second-most by an India fielder in any Test.
