India opener KL Rahul needs to convert his starts into a big score, said Cheteshwar Pujara at the end of Day 3 on Sunday, June 22. Rahul remained steady in India's second innings of the 1st Test match of the series against England. The batter remained unbeaten at 47 when rain brought curtains to the day's play earlier than Pujara's comments come in the background of KL Rahul's first innings exploits.

He further added that Rahul looked like a complete Test batter, one who could play through any situation. "Technically, he's one of the most correct batsmen in the Indian Test team, and the way he times the ball, the way his footwork is, the way he judges the length, he looks like he's a complete Test player. But at the same time, he has to score big runs, and he's capable enough, but there are times where he gets off to a good start and then he gets out," Cheteshwar Pujara said about KL Rahul on the vs ENG, 1st Test, Day 3: Report"We saw in the first innings. It was a perfect time for him to capitalise. He batted really well. He gave us a good start, but after that, it was a bit disappointing to see him get out because it was a perfect opportunity for him to get that 100. But now this innings, it looks like he has started off really well once again. He's batting on 47. If he gets to that 50 mark, because that's a nervous time for KL Rahul. Once he crosses his 50, then most of the time he converts it into a big one. So tomorrow, let's hope that he carries on from here and then gets a big one," he fortunes will be directly linked to KL Rahul's exploits in the final two days of the Test match. If Rahul bats well, India will be able to get to a massive total, essentially securing them the first Test match of the match is currently in balance in Leeds, with India leading by 96 runs at the end of Day 3.

The veteran reckons there are shades of Rishabh Pant in the English batter after witnessing his fearless took charge with the bat on Day 3 to steer England closer to a lead. Despite going all the way to 99 runs, he eventually fell short of a well-deserved hundred when Prasidh Krishna got the big to the Sony Sports network after the end of the day's play, Pujara looked back on his time with Brook in the English domestic setup, as the two played for Yorkshire together in the 2015 season.

So since then he has matured and he's playing and he's leading in the white circuit for the England team, so he knows, understands his responsibility and the kind of shots he played today—I mean, not many players can do that," Pujara Indian cricketer believes that both Brook and Pant have a rather similar approach when it comes to batting. He suggested that both men have the tendency to go after the bowlers to rattle the opposition and can produce a game-changing knock that lifts their respective can see a little bit of Rishabh Pant in him because he's stepping down, although both have different approach, but both of them are fearless. Both of them are trying to disrupt bowler's length, and they are trying to put pressure on back on the bowlers and that's why that's the key, because whenever the team is in trouble," he also noted how Brook piles up his runs fairly quickly and reckons that the bowling team could see it as a nuisance as well."Those are the guys who put pressure back on the bowlers and take the game away from you very quickly. Harry Brook is one of them who bats very quickly. His strike rate is always on the higher side, which is always difficult for the opposition team," he Brook's knock, England remain in the contest for a possible victory, and now the hosts will look to ensure they can restrict the Indian batters to a score that is chaseable with two days of play left to Watch
