'I can surely say this hundred by Rahul is...': Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar lavished rich praise on KL Rahul after scoring his eighth Test hundred on Day 2 of the first Test against South Africa, saying he would place the wicketkeeper-batter's knock of 101 amongst top ten centuries in Indian Test cricket history. Batting for just the second time in the middle-order in Tests after nine years, Rahul mixed caution and aggression well enough to counter the bounce and swinging ball while pouncing on the loose deliveries, as he took India from 121/6 to a respectable score of 245, through his knock of 101.
