‌WATCH | Ajinkya Rahane shines in County Championship with century after 19-month drought 

On the back of Dan Douthwaite and Timm van der Gugten’s four-for, Leicestershire was bundled out for 251 in the first innings. Colin Ingram’s massive 257* knock helped Glamorgan earn a lead of 299 runs before Leicestershire had to bat on the fourth day of the Test. With three wickets down for 74 in 23 overs, Leicestershire was in a spot of bother when Rahane and Peter Handscomb soaked the pressure and forged a 183 runs stand to force a draw. In the process, the Indian batter struck a century that became the talk of the town in the Indian cricketing fraternity. 

When Rahane was batting at 96, Kiran Carlson bowled a length delivery outside the off stump at the batter. The Mumbaikar rocked back and made room to maneuver the off-side field. He slashed at the leg break and threaded the gap between point and cover to earn a boundary. Right after, Rahane unstripped the helmet and raised the bat to mark his maiden County Championship ton for Leicestershire and his second overall in the competition. With a packed fixture ahead for the Indian cricket side, Rahane’s century in overseas conditions can be a good headache for the BCCI selectors.

Brilliant Century!
