Ind vs WI: KL Rahul bring up his third ODI hundred
KL Rahul was eventually dismissed after scoring 102 from 104 balls. He was holed out at third man off Alzarri Joseph to complete the 37th over of the Indian innings. His innings included 8 boundaries and 3 sixes at a strike-rate of 98.07.
KL Rahul’s century was his first since his 111 against Sri Lanka at Leeds in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The cricketer is also one of the few Indian batsmen to have registered centuries in all international formats. Apart from his three ODI tons, KL Rahul has 5 Test centuries and 2 T20I centuries to his credit.
Meanwhile, his wicket was the first to fall in the Indian innings as it brought to an end to a dominating 227-run opening stand with Rohit Sharma. On the other end, Sharma also brought up his 28th ODI century and the right-hander switched gears upon reaching the triple-figure mark. At the time of this report, India were 248-2 from 39 overs.
