Sikandar Raza has been in phenomenal form in limited overs format as he has amassed runs against every team he has played. Although he could not produce big scores against India in the first two ODIs, he scored a splendid century in the third ODI when his team needed the most. Raza reached the three-figure-mark in 87 balls and kept Zimbabwe wide alive in the chase of 290.
Although wickets kept falling from the other end, Raza held one end intact for his team. The 36-year-old put in all his experience and skills into implementation as he took the charge against Indian bowlers. Raza scored nine boundaries and three sixes in his innings of 115 (95) and all of them were filled with class and elegance.
Even though Raza failed to win the game for Zimbabwe as he fell prey to a stunning catch from Shubman Gill, he won the hearts of cricket fans with his fighting innings. Everyone lauded the batter for his splendid knock as Raza scored his third ODI century in six innings. “Man has some special class, another brilliant knock. What a century Sikandar Raza. What a player, brilliant talent in Zimbabwe Cricket. Hats off,” wrote a user while praising the batter.
