Follow 2nd ODI Live Scores and commentary here.

That's all from us for today's match. Do join us on Monday, for the second match of the three-ODI series, to be played at the same ground. Till then, it is a goodbye from Kislaya Srivastava and Aadya Sharma.

Rahul: "The ball was doing a little bit so I wanted to play the first 10 overs and wanted to carry on from there. I want to carry off this form to the next match. There were no two ways to it and I had to hit a six off the last match to get the hundred and I did that. My first tour has with the ODI team, so it is going to be a challenging experience".

KL RAHUL is the MAN OF THE MATCH

Dhoni: "There was not much help but the bowlers bowled tight lengths and were backed by strong fielding. You cant say if it it was or was not an easy wicket to score runs. If you get to a good start and have wickets in hand you can achieve the required scores. The batsmen played well, but the bowlers started the initial work".

Cremer: "We know we didnt get enough runs on the board. Some of the boys got 20 and 30 but there was no big score to get us to a competitive score. We couldnt get wickets off the new ball. Hopefully we can comeback and win the next match to make the last match a final"

Wasn't that difficult!

India started off on the wrong foot when one of the débutante openers, Karun Nair, fell tamely for seven runs. Rahul stayed put on one end, and in the company of a sedate Ambati Rayudu, kept the scoreboard ticking. With a strong partnership of 162, India finished off with 9 wickets to spare. Rahul hit a six off the last ball to reach his ODI century on debut, the first Indian to do so.

When KL Rahul had opened the batting for the first time in Tests, against Australia at the SCG, Sydney last year, he had made a hundred as well. The previous record for the highest individual score by an Indian batsman on debut in ODIs was held by Robin Uthappa, who had scored 86 against England in 2006.
