During the ENG vs IND, 4th test in Manchester, the Indian men's test cricket team's current opener KL Rahul became only the fifth Indian batter to score more than 1000 test runs in England.

KL Rahul, who is often regarded as one of the most graceful and classy players in the cricketing world, has always found it easier to score runs in overseas conditions. Although KL Rahul averages only about mid-30s in his overall test career, he averages over 42 in England. Interestingly, where most of the Asian and Indian batters find it hard to score, KL Rahul averages his highest on English soil.

Till now, KL Rahul has played 13 test matches in England and in 25 innings, he has scored 1022 runs (at the time of writing this article).

Not only that, KL Rahul has scored 4 test tons in England, the most in his career on any host country. That record of 4 test tons is also the joint second most by any Indian batter on English soil.
