With just 11 runs needed, Rahul is poised to become only the fourth Indian to score 1,000 or more Test runs in England, alongside legends Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sunil Gavaskar

The fourth Test will see India aiming to level the five-match series, which currently stands 2-1 in England's favour. Despite a valiant century at Lord’s in the third Test, Rahul's efforts couldn’t prevent India from slipping to a narrow defeat. Now, the dependable right-hander will be determined to carry forward his rich vein of form and steer India back into the contest

Rahul has scored 989 runs in 12 Tests and 24 innings in England, averaging 41.20. His record includes four centuries and two half-centuries, with a top score of 149. A mere 11 more runs will see him join a legendary trio who have etched their names into Indian cricket history with their prolific records on English soil

Leading the chart is Sachin Tendulkar, who amassed 1,575 runs in 17 Tests and 30 innings in England at an average of 54.31, including four centuries and eight fifties. Rahul Dravid follows with 1,376 runs from just 13 Tests and 23 innings, boasting a staggering average of 68.80, along with six centuries and four half-centuries. Sunil Gavaskar rounds off the trio with 1,152 runs in 16 Tests and 28 innings, averaging 41.14 with two centuries and eight fifties

Rahul’s recent form in the ongoing series has been outstanding. In three Tests and six innings so far, he has accumulated 375 runs at an impressive average of 62.50, making him the fourth-highest run-getter in the series. His contributions include two centuries and a half-century, with a best of 137
