Raina becomes first Indian to score 100 in T-20

PROLOGUE : Suresh Raina's made 101 off 60 balls with five sixes in St Lucia on Sunday:
Raina's score is just the third century made in a Twenty20 international and included nine fours and five sixes as he peppered the ball around the field showing superb timing and placement. The 23-year-old enjoyed a big slice of luck in the fifth over though when he was caught off a no-ball from Albie Morkel.

EPILOGUE : In TOI Avijit Ghosh writes: "We must thank someone for foreseeing Raina’s potential much before others: Greg Chappell. The former India coach messed up quite a few things. But to give him his due, he backed Raina all along. Raina is Chappell’s gift to Indian cricket. Since those days, the left-hander from Uttar Pradesh has come a long way. He certainly deserves the India No 3 spot."
