5 famous cricketers who scored a century on their ODI debut

#3 KL Rahul (100* off 115 vs Zimbabwe)

KL Rahul scored a century on his debut in a successful run chase against Zimbabwe

KL Rahul has had a terrific debut game but could not capitalize on the initial success and is now fighting for place in the squad. The swashbuckling opener is known for playing fearless cricket and can really tonk the ball well. However, he is very inconsistent and after a string of poor performances, he is now on the sidelines.

Rahul got a chance to prove himself in the series against Zimbabwe when all the frontline batsmen were rested. In the first ODI, India won the toss and chose to bowl first. The hosts were bundled out for just 168 runs, thanks to Bumrah's 4/28.

In reply, India lost Nair early in the innings but Rahul and Rayudu combined for 162-run partnership for the second wicket and the team romped home. KL Rahul got to his maiden century in 115 balls. This was a slow and calculated innings with just seven fours and a solitary six. The debutant was presented the Man of the Match award.
