India are currently taking on England in the third Test of the five-match series at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. After England were restricted to 387 in the first innings, India too were bundled out for the same score in the second innings. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul were India's two best players in the second innings. While Rahul slammed a century, Pant could only manage to score 74. The duo put on a stand of 141 for the fourth wicket, before Pant was run out against the run of play in the last over before lunch. Rahul has now revealed that he might have been the reason why Pant was run out in the first place

Speaking to the media after play on Day 2, KL Rahul revealed that there was a conversation between him and Pant that he would want to complete his century before lunch. With Shoaib Bashir bowling the final over before lunch, he wanted to complete his three-figure score by hitting a boundary. However, he could only manage a single of the first delivery.

Rishabh Pant wanted to get Rahul back on strike so that he could hit his century. However, he got run out while trying to take a hasty single. KL Rahul acknowledged that the run-out changed the momentum of the innings.

“There was a conversation a couple of overs before that. I told him that I will get my hundred if possible before lunch. And with Bashir bowling that last over before lunch, I thought there’s a good chance for me to get it, but, yeah, unfortunately, I hit straight to the fielder," KL Rahul

“It was a ball that I could have hit for a boundary. Then he just wanted to rotate strike and see if he could put me back on strike. But, yeah, it shouldn’t have happened: a run-out at that stage changed the momentum. It was disappointing for both of us. Nobody wants to throw their wicket like that," he added.
