India opener KL Rahul said that he was disappointed at being dropped from the Test team two years ago, but he could not blame it for his poor performance.
Rahul hit a scintillating century in the ongoing Lords Test against England on Thursday, but pacer Ollie Robinson walked the Indian opener off the second ball on the second day of the game on Friday.
Rahul beats Rohit Sharma to BCCI. In a video posted on TV, he said, It is very special. Not because I scored a century at Lords. This increases the happiness and enthusiasm even more.

I have been away from Test cricket for the last few years. I want to be a test cricketer and play the longest format. In the generation I grew up in, my father loves Test cricket and my coach always wanted me to do well in this format.Rahul also said, Test cricket is very close to my heart. It was disappointing to be out of Test cricket. It hurt, but I couldnt blame anyone. I just waited for the chance.
Then the way I got the chance, I think it had to happen. I just enjoyed my batting. Making 100 runs at Lords makes it all the more special.
