The 29-year-old's name is featured on the Lord's Honours Board, but the score will only be added after India's innings. In the video, the India opener was first welcomed by his opening partner Rohit Sharma who hugged him.

Later, Mayank Agarwal, Rahul's close friend gave him a hug and pat on the back for the knock. India's head coach Ravi Shastri was delighted with the knock and he welcomed him in the dressing room, along with Ajinkya Rahane.

Rahul is now the first Indian opener in the last 31 years to score a century at Lord’s. The last Indian opener to achieve the milestone was Shastri.
