147 vs Australia (Melbourne, 2014)

Rahane walked in with India under pressure and launched a stunning counter-attack against Australia’s pace attack.

He scored 147 off just 171 balls, taking on the likes of Mitchell Johnson, Josh Hazlewood and Ryan Harris on a lively MCG pitch.

His 262-run partnership with Virat Kohli completely changed the course of the innings.

Rahane followed it up with another 48 in the second innings that helped India to a draw.

The knock is widely regarded as one of the finest overseas Test centuries by an Indian batter.
