KL Rahul becomes 1st Asian opener with 3 Test centuries in England, surpassing legends Gavaskar & Dravid (2 each).
Rahul-Pant's 195-run stand rescued India after Gill's dismissal. Their partnership became the backbone of India's fightback.
2nd keeper ever with twin Test tons 20 sixes - most by visitor in England 9 sixes in match (India's away Test record)
5 of Rahul's 9 Test tons came as opener in SENA nations. Only Gavaskar (8) has more among Asian openers.
India became 1st team with 5 individual Test centuries in England (Rahul, Pant, Gill, Jaiswal, Bumrah).
India's batting records helped build 270+ lead at Headingley. England bowlers struggled despite early Gill wicket.
Rahul-Pant's heroics signal India's strong post-Kohli/Rohit future. More records likely in this England series!
