However, his determined innings came to an end due to an unfortunate runout between him and Ravindra Jadeja. It all happened on the penultimate delivery of the 100th over bowled by Nathan Lyon when Jadeja who was batting on 49 played a ball on the off-side and set off for a quick single. Jadeja seemed eager to reach the milestone which is why Rahane responded positively to his call.

In the end, Rahane fell short of his crease by inches as Australian skipper Tim Paine dislodged the bails in a flash. However, after getting dismissed, it was Rahane's reaction that won everyone over. As soon as ‘OUT’ was displayed on the big screen, Rahane tapped Jadeja's back and told him to carry on and score big before walking back to the dressing room.
