He took four catches on the fourth day to take his catching tally to a sum of seven, hence creating a matchless record. Rahul in England's first innings had taken three catches to throw in the dismissals of Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes, he continued his astral fielding form there to grab four more catches on Tuesday.
