'Aaj Important Day Hai': Suniel Shetty Keeps Fingers Crossed For KL Rahul Ahead Of Day 4 Of ENG vs IND 1st Test; Video

Team India opener KL Rahul's father-in-law and Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty kept his fingers crossed for the 33-year-old to perform well on day four of the first Test against England in Leeds. While speaking to the paparazzi, the veteran actor said day four is extremely important before getting into his car.

Team India, who gained a slender six-run lead after bowling England out for 465, lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) and B Sai Sudharsan (30). Nevertheless, KL Rahul batted in full flow, staying unbeaten at 47 off 75 deliveries, helping the tourists to a 96-run lead.

KL Rahul missed out on a well-deserved half-century in the first innings

The Karnataka-born cricketer missed out on a well-deserved half-century in the first innings as Brydon Carse got him to nick at first slip where Joe Root took a good catch. However, his 42 had helped the tourists build a solid 91-run opening stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Team India eventually amassed 471 after centuries from Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant.

In response, Ollie Pope was the only centurion for England, while Harry Brook fell agonisingly short of a triple-figure score, perishing for 99. Nevertheless, the home side's tail wagged, with Chris Woakes (38) and Brydon Carse (22) chipping in with useful contributions.

Carse and Ben Stokes were the wicket-takers for England on day three but showers meant that the the umpires had to call off the proceedings early.
