KL Rahul has returned to international cricket in style. The right-hander silenced all naysayers and critics after slamming an incredible comeback ton. Rahul had played his last ODI against Australia in March and rose to the situation when India was down 123-2 in the IND vs PAK contest in the Asia Cup 2023. Rahul had to fend off Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shadab Khan to reach his 6th ODI century.

Team India fans were ecstatic to see KL return to international cricket with a bang. From the ICC to fans, everyone seemed in awe of the classy batter.
