During the fourth ODI of the ongoing Windies’ tour of India at Mumbai, India’s middle-order batsman Ambati Rayudu scored his third ODI century. In an innings which almost confirms Rayudu as India’s No. 4 in the times ahead, it also provided India with much needed runs today.
Rayudu came in to bat at No. 4 in the 17th over when captain Virat Kohli (16) was out. After playing five dot deliveries, Rayudu got off the mark on the sixth one by scoring a glorious cover drive off Keemo Paul.
Rayudu played a vital role in a 211-run stand for the third wicket with vice-captain Rohit Sharma. Taken his time initially, Rayudu shifted gears as the innings progressed. Once Sharma completed his 21st ODI century, both of them were seen going against the bowling attack.
On the second delivery of the 37th over, with a single towards long-off, Rayudu completed his 10th ODI half-century. Often playing the slog sweep against both the pacers and spinners, Rayudu continued on his spree, nearing his hundred.
Having completed his half-century in 51 balls, Rayudu took another 29 balls to complete his third ODI century off 80 balls. On the fourth delivery of the 47th over, Rayudu took a quick single off Paul to complete his century.
Rayudu couldn’t finish his innings in the way he and the team would have wanted. On the first ball of the 48th over, Rayudu was found short of the crease as he was run-out on 100 (81), His innings comprised on eight fours and four sixes.
Since his comeback into the Indian side, Rayudu has scored 392 runs in 10 matches at an average of 56 and an impressive strike rate of 90.74.

Ambati Rayudu is the great survivor of Indian cricket. Happy to bat anywhere, always contributing. You never write him off. Much to admire in him.

Rohit Sharma is class. But feel delighted for Ambati Rayudu. He has a fantastic record and unless something drastic happens, he should be the No.4 that India have been experimenting with, for the World Cup #IndvWI

The only good thing about Kohli’s dismissal is Ambati Rayudu…

Rohit is a delight to watch as he scores another 100. Ambati Rayudu too makes merry. Let’s hope for a big total since the Windies have made it clear they’re out to win. #INDvWI #hitman https://t.co/XfK6B10HKh

Scintillating hundred by Ambati Rayudu batting at no.4. Perhaps a bigger source of happiness and relief for Indian team than Rohit Sharma’s whirlwind ton. #IndvWI

Ambati Rayudu scores his 3rd ODI ton, his first batting at No.4
Rayudu had played a lot of cricket at the Brabourne Stadium when he was with MI. Made his IPL debut here
As a 16-year-old scored 177 for India Under-19 v Eng U-19. Looked classy
Got his due a little late#INDvWI

All those who criticized Ambati Rayudu will have to eat their words. He has the most impressive of the whole lot playing selflessly for the team and taking all the risks to score briskly .
