4. KL Rahul unbeaten 100 on ODI debut against Zimbabwe:
The Indian opener KL Rahul on his exceptional debut notched up his unbeaten debut century against Zimbabwe in the first One-day International match at Harare to see his side winning the game by 9 wickets and 45 balls to spare.
With India requiring just two to win, the right-handed batsman whacked a six to reach the triple figure mark in grand style to become only the 11th debutant to do so in ODI cricket.
Tasting some kind of a feat, the 24-year-old became the first Indian batsman to smash a century on his maiden 50-over game as he went past fellow countryman Robin Uthappa’s 86 which he scored against England at Indore in 2006.
Rahul scored 100 not out off 115 balls as he flayed an inexperienced bowler line-up of Zimbabwe. While piercing the gaps, Rahul has scored 63 runs on the off-side which includes 23 runs in the cover region.
The formidable Karnataka lad had smashed 7 boundaries and a solitary six in his well deserved century.
