Not the way we wanted the match to go, but scoring a century for my country was a special moment. One that I've been dreaming about since I first held a bat. Thank you to the management for the opportunity and their continued faith in me. Onwards and upwards now 🇮🇳 #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/8tAiK8n6B4
