He became only the 11th cricketer to break into the list.<\/p>\n<p>Rahul, who was the player of the match for his century, said, &#8220;I enjoyed my batting. The wicket was tough, so I couldn&#8217;t be complacent. I wanted to play out the new ball and then take it from there. I&#8217;m really satisfied with the way I carried on and stayed not out in the end. I just got told by the manager that I was the first Indian to get a century on debut. I wasn&#8217;t thinking much. There was just one way to get to a century. I wanted to hold my shape and just hit it. There are five more games, it&#8217;s a sporty wicket. This is my first tour with the ODI team and I&#8217;m loving it so far.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Indian skipper MS Dhoni said, &ldquo;It was a very good performance. I felt the fast bowlers did well and were backed by the spinners, even though there wasn&#8217;t much help for them. A win first up is important in a three-game series. The batsmen did a very good job, but the bowlers laid the ground work.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Zimbabwe skipper Graeme Cremer, said, &ldquo;We didn&#8217;t get enough runs. Maybe if we would have got to 220, it could have been a different story. We lost a couple of wickets to good balls, but few of the guys didn&#8217;t kick on after getting 20s and 30s. Indian batsmen showed how easy batting can get once you get in. Our seamers bowled well, but it just didn&#8217;t go our way. We know we&#8217;re much better than that, and we can hopefully win the next game to make the third ODI a final.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-27410\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/KL-Rahul.jpg\" alt=\"KL Rahul\" width=\"250\" height=\"159\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/KL-Rahul.jpg 250w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/KL-Rahul-150x95.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Harare:<\/strong> Lokesh Rahul slammed a century (100 off 115 balls) in his maiden ODI against Zimbabwe at Harare on Saturday that not only helped India register a nine-wicket victory over the hosts to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series but also put him in the elite list of cricketers to have scored a ton on his debut.
