NEWPORT (United Kingdom): India's Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane had a memorable English County debut, scoring a hundred for Hampshire against Nottinghamshire in a Division One sport on Wednesday.
Rahane thus was the 3rd Indian to score a hundred on county debut after Piyush Chawla, for Sussex against Worcestershire, and Murali Vijay for Essex against Nottinghamshire.
Rahane, who had scored simply 10 in the first innings, struck a patient 119 off 260 balls, hit 14 barriers and shared a 257-run stand for the 3rd wicket with Sam Northeast, who used to be unbeaten on 131 at tea on the 3rd day.
Rahane came in at No. three in the fifth over of the innings and used to be dismissed via off-spinner Matthew Carter at the stroke of tea in the 70th over.
In between, he saw off England seamer Stuart Broad's checking out first spell and confirmed a large number of patience waiting for the free deliveries at the Newport floor.
In reality, Rahane reached his hundred with a cover power off Carter that fetched him two runs. The celebration used to be muted. This used to be his 30th first class hundred.
Apart from Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravichandran Ashwin may also be playing in the Division One of the Championship for Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire respectively.
The BCCI desires the Test specialists to have enough sport time before they embark on excursion of West Indies, where they'll play two Tests as part of World Test Championship.
