Not too concerned on missing out century: Ajinkya Rahane
North Sound (Antigua), Aug 23: Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane rescued India from a precarious situation on Day 1 of the first Test against West Indies in Antigua. Rahane walked in when India were reeling at 25/3 and, together with KL Rahul and Hanuma Vihari, rebuilt the innings. He missed out on a first Test century in over two years when he chopped one on to the stumps off Shannon Gabriel on 81 but Rahane said that he wasn't too bothered about that.
"As long as I am at the crease, I am thinking about my team, I am not a selfish guy," he said in a press conference after the day's play on Thursday. "So yes, I am not too concerned about the hundred as I thought 81 on that wicket was really crucial as we are now in a decent position. As long as I am contributing for my team, (that) is what matters. Yes, I was thinking about my hundred but the situation we were in - 25 for 3 - was tricky. As I have said, I just thought if I could contribute for my team. I am not too concerned about my hundred as that will come automatically.
