India 257-7 (94 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Rahane taps Abbott on the off-side for a single to move to 96 and within a boundary of his century.

The pacer bowls a short ball to Ashwin, who is looking quite confident now, and pulls it to fine leg for a single.

Rahane plays a cracking straight drive, back past the bowler for a boundary to complete his hundred in grand style, from 180 deliveries, having hit 10 boundaries in total.

And incidentally, Rahane brings up his first hundred in India on the very ground he made his debut on. His debut match didn't go to plans as he failed in both the innings but he has made up for it in a big way. He also makes up for his poor run of scores in the first three matches of the series.

This is the first hundred of the series from both sides and Rahane deserves a lot of credit for working hard on a pitch not exactly easy for batting. He also got two lifelines along the way and how much South Africa will rue those drops.
