#4 Rahane confident of making century in Melbourne

Indian vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane is extremely confident of scoring a century in the upcoming Boxing Day Test against Australia.

He has been in great form in the Test series so far, scoring two half-centuries. However, he is yet to reach triple figures.

"It [a century] will definitely come. I'm really sure it will come in this Test match. The way I am batting, from Adelaide to Perth, the mindset I was in to counter-attack and the rhythm I was batting in, maybe 100 or even 200 can come," Rahane told reporters ahead of the Test.

"I think it is more important for me not to think about it. I have to continue batting the way I am. I can read the situation a bit better and if I can play like that it will be better for the team. Personal milestones can be achieved later as well," he concluded.
