#3 India - Suresh Raina 101 (60) vs South Africa, ICC WT20 2010

South Africa v India - ICC T20 World Cup

Indian middle order batsman Suresh Raina became the first Indian batsman to score a 100 in T20 internationals during the ICC WT20 in 2010. In a group stage match against the Proteas, India lost Murali Vijay on the 2nd ball of the innings which invited Suresh Raina to bat. The Uttar Pradesh born all-rounder defied the South African bowlers on a sunny day in Gros Islet and played one of the best innings of his career.

Raina amassed 101 runs off 60 balls before losing his wicket in the 20th over to Albie Morkel. He hit 9 fours and 5 sixes and had a blistering strike rate of 168.33. A clinical bowling performance by the bowlers led India to an easy win against South Africa as Raina was adjudged the man of the match for his supreme knock.
