With their luggage missing, the youngsters entered the competition without their UAE jerseys — but what they didn’t lack was the motivation to perform for the country
KL Rahul was visibly disappointed to be out for 129 off just the second ball he faced against England at Lord’s on Friday.
But at least the opener had the consolation of joining a select group of Indians to have scored a Test century at the ‘home of cricket’ — a list that, surprisingly, does not include batting great Sachin Tendulkar.
Ten India batsmen have now scored 12 Test hundreds between them at Lord’s, with Dilip Vengsarkar achieving the feat three times, each on a separate tour.

1952 Vinoo Mankad 184
1979 Gundappa Viswanath 113
1979 Dilip Vengsarkar 103
1982 Dilip Vengsarkar 157
