Rahane brought up his hundred in 210 deliveries against New Zealand and added a 250 runs for the fourth wicket with Kohli.

Rahane slammed his ton in his 29th Test match and took 49 innings. It wasn't one of those great knocks from Rahane but he showed resilience and grit to bring up his hundred on Indian soil.
