Rahane's reaction showed what the century meant to him: VVS Laxman

New Delhi, Aug 28: Former India batsman V.V.S. Laxman has said that Test deputy Ajinkya Rahane's reaction after scoring a century in the first Test of the series against West Indies in Antigua showed just how much it meant to him. It was a century after 17 Tests for the middle-order batsman.

"He must have felt some pressure after not having scored a Test hundred in more than two years. Even though he had the backing of the selectors and the team management, the vice-captain would have been desperate to leave his mark, and his reaction upon reaching three figures on Sunday showed just how much this century meant to him," Laxman wrote in his column for Times of India.
