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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data- data-lang=\"en\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud835\udde0\ud835\uddd4\ud835\udddc\ud835\uddd7\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udde1 \ud835\udddf\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udddc\ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udde6\ud835\udde7\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udde5\ud835\udde6\ud835\udddb\ud835\udddc\ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8 \ud835\udddb\ud835\udde8\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd7\ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd7 \ud83d\udcaf\ud83e\udd29<br><br>What a knock by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ajinkyarahane88?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ajinkyarahane88<\/a>!
