Arjun Rajput scores fighting hundred against Pakistan in Under-19 Asia Cup

Middle-order batter Arjun Rajput led India’s fightback against Pakistan with a counter-attacking century in the Under-19 Asia Cup in Muscat on Sunday.

Arjun, who came in to bat when India was reeling at 22 for three, has single-handedly put the team on course for a respectable total.

While batters at the other end kept losing their wickets, Arjun held India’s innings together, unleashing his wide range of shots to keep the scoreboard ticking.

Arjun reached the milestone in the 33rd over off just 80 balls, in a knock comprising 11 fours and four sixes.

It was the Punjab batter’s maiden century in the international stage. Arjun was eventually dismissed for 107 off 85 balls to Rizwanullah in the 36th over.
