Ajinkya Rahane scores maiden ton for Leicestershire in clash against Glamorgan

Former Indian Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has scored a century for Leicestershire in the County Championship Division 2 match against Glamorgan on Sunday. The right-handed batter came out to bat at the fourth spot in the match taking place at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, and with the help of 13 boundaries and a single six, he scored 102 runs from 193 balls in the second innings.

It was his 40th century in first-class cricket and first one for Leicestershire. The 36-year-old, who was not given a place in the Duleep Trophy squads by the BCCI selectors last month, had earlier scored 42 runs in the first inning.
