New Delhi: India’s stand-in captain played one of the most memorable knocks with unbeaten on 104 at Stumps on Day 2 as India finished on top with an 82-run lead.
With this unbeaten ton Rahane became only the 2nd Indian batsman after the great Vinoo Mankad to hit more than one hundred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Rahane got to the hundred in 195 balls as he stitched fifty-plus stands with Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja.
Rahane’s gritty 104 not out and Jadeja’s 40 not out put India in the driver’s seat as India finished Day 2 with an 82-run lead.
