Rahul also scored a match-winning century in the second Test of India's victorious tour to Sri Lanka last year. However Jason Holder's decision backfired as Indian bowlers, led by Ashwin, wreaked havoc and bowled out the hosts for 196. Openers Lokesh Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan stitched an 87-run stand before off-spinner Roston Chase struck to remove the latter. The right-hander scored his maiden century Down Under in his second Test at Sydney. Not just the longer format of the game, Rahul established himself in T20 and one-day international cricket as well.
