KL Rahul batted with an uncluttered mind and perhaps was at his best while executing the plans to perfection during his superb hundred, feels opening partner Rohit Sharma. Rohit scored an attractive 83 and added 126 for the opening stand with Rahul, who added just two runs to his overnight score of 127 on Friday.

“It was probably the best I have seen KL bat and he was in control from ball one till we finished the day today. Very much in control,” Rohit said after the day’s play on Thursday.
