LONDON (Reuters) - In-form India opener KL Rahul backed his struggling team mates Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane to come out of their slump in form in the ongoing test series against England.

Pujara has been without a fifty in his last 10 test innings, looking a shadow of the player who was the architect of India's 2019 test series victory in Australia, the first by an Asian side.

Number five batsman Rahane has now gone seven innings since his last fifty, scoring five and one in his two innings in the five-test series.
