India have made a fantastic start to the reserve day proceedings in Colombo. And KL Rahul has been the main instigator of that.

The Asia Cup 2023 Super Four match was rescheduled to the reserve day after rain washed out the play on Sunday (September 10). India were on 147 for 2 in 24.1 overs when the downpour started and there was no play after that.

On Monday, after a delay of around 1 hour and 40 minutes, the match has finally resumed and India are on course to score big. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are at the crease, and the former has looked on terrific touch. Rahul has already scored a century in the match and looking good to amass a big score under his belt.

Amid the many questions and battles between KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan outside the pitch for a place in the starting XI, Rahul has shown he is not far behind. The batter was out injured for almost six months since his Thigh injury during IPL, and his selection was questioned by a section of pundits and supporters.

But Rahul has justified his selection with a brilliant knock. He has played some sublime shots and has shown no jitters at all, especially after the resumption on Monday. The batter is currently batting on 100 off 100 balls at the time of publishing this story as India are looking destined to score big.
