Watch- Rahane's brilliant debut in County Cricket !!!

Ajinkya Rahane, after the announcement of the World Cup Squad showed interest to play in the county cricket for Hampshire.

Now he is playing his first match and has started off very well. After missing out in the first innings scoring just 10 runs batting at number 3, he came back with a magnificent 119 from 197 balls in the second innings and got his team to a strong position in the match.

With this, he became just the third Indian player to score a century on county cricket debut. Previously, Piyush Chawla achieved this for Sussex in 2009 and Murali Vijay for Essex recently in 2018.

CENTURY: A phenomenal knock from @ajinkyarahane88! 💯👏

What an effort it's been on debut, his century coming off 179 balls with 12 fours - 219-2 (290 ahead).
