Twitter laud Ajinkya Rahane for his eighth Test century 1

When Ajinkya Rahane stepped into the Indian Test team, he was seen as someone who could fill the large void left by the legendary Rahul Dravid and so far he has done a commendable job. Just like his illustrious predecessor, Rahane has bailed out the team from difficult situations on several occasions and he did it once again during the third Test against New Zealand at Indore.

Leading the three-match series by 2-0, the Indian team’s hopes of whitewashing the Kiwis took a huge blow when they were reduced to 100 for 3 in the first innings of the Test. But then Rahane along with his captain Virat Kohli stitched together a brilliant partnership  to take command of the match. By the end of the first day, they added 167 runs for the fourth wicket with Kohli unbeaten on 103 and Rahane not out on 79.Both the batsmen started the second day impressively and Rahane scored his eighth Test century in only his 29th Test. He completed his century with the help of 11 fours and 1 six.

As expected fans lauded his innings.

Here is Twitter reacted to his century:
