Rahane's century powers Rajasthan to 195/2

Rahane produced a scintillating 103-run unbeaten knock off just 60 balls and together with Owais Shah (60) stitched 121 runs off 8.2 overs for the second wicket to guide Rajasthan to the commanding total.

Rahane carried on his good form in the tournament and showed his intentions from the onset after Rajasthan skipper Rahil Dravid won the toss and opted to bat at the R Chinnaswamy Stadium. He decorated his unconquered innings with 12 boundaries and five huge sixes to stamp his authority on the highest run--scorer of the tournament list.

Rahane was a treat to watch as he pulled, cut and drove RCB bowlers with consummate ease during his century knock.

Coming in at number three position, Shah provided Rahane the perfect support from the other end, scoring a quickfire 60 off just 29 balls during which he struck five fours and as many sixes.

Electing to bat, Rajasthan made a steady start, putting on 61 runs for the first wicket before losing Dravid.

Dravid made 25 off 32 balls with the help of two boundaries before perishing in the 11th over, stumped by de Villiers of Rajasthan skipper Danile Vettori's (1/20) bowling.
