KL Rahul came in to open the innings in this match. He was determined from the outset to play for Team India while protecting wickets from one end, and he did just that. Team India's other top-order batsmen didn't perform particularly well, but KL Rahul, by scoring a century, proved why he is currently the best batsman in the Indian Test team.
KL Rahul shared a 98-run partnership with Shubman Gill and, while opening, also shared a 68-run partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. In both these partnerships, KL Rahul played different roles. This is why Team India appears to be in a strong position in this Test match.
