Sherfane Rutherford joins Gordon Greenidge, Gayle in elite list with maiden ODI ton as West Indies take 1-0 lead – India TV
India TV NewsWest Indies batter Sherfane Rutherford is in some magical form in white-ball cricket as he notched up his maiden century in ODIs in the series opener against Bangladesh. Rutherford, alongside skipper Shai Hope, guided West Indies to what ended up being a comfortable run-chase of 295 runs as he followed up four consecutive 50-plus scores in the format with an 80-ball 113 as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Hope missed his ton by 14 runs but Rutherford didn't and thereby joined the elite list of West Indies batters to register fifty-plus scores in consecutive innings. Rutherford became the fourth West Indies batter after the likes of Gordon Greenidge, Chris Gayle and Hope himself to score at least five consecutive fifty-plus scores in ODIs.
