India A vs England Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test, Day 1: KL Rahul aims to make the most of his first red-ball game in months ahead of the Test series against England, while fringe players seek impactful performances when India A faces England Lions in their second and final unofficial Test starting Friday. With much of India experiencing monsoon, Rahul chose to head to the UK before the main Test squad to train for the five-match series starting June 20. The Shubman Gill-led India squad will depart from Mumbai late Friday.
Rahul, with notable success in England including two centuries, is the senior-most batter in the Test squad following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Though he averages a modest 33.57 in 58 Tests, most of his achievements in this format have come as an opener. It remains to be seen if he continues at the top or bats lower down the order.
