WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Ajinkya Rahane consciously ignored that he was closing in on his first test century on the second day of the second test against New Zealand, mindful that he had fallen in the 90s against South Africa when he was too keen to achieve the milestone.
Rahane top-scored with 118 for India and contributed to valuable partnerships with Virat Kohli (38), captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (68) and pace bowler Zaheer Khan (22) to guide the visitors to 438, an overall lead of 246 runs.
