Yusuf Pathan hit first ODI Century, India wins 4th ODI

India wins 4th ODI against New Zealand by 5 wickets taking 4-0 lead in 5 ODI Series. Yusuf Pathan hit first ODI Century today for his career while playing on 4th ODI against new zealand at Bangalore. Pathan has played 40 games before today’s match and hit two half centuries. His highest score before this match was 59 and the century seemed to have come at the most opportune times. Pathan had come to bat when India, chasing a target of 316 for a win, had lost four wickets for 108 and looked totally out of the game. However, Pathan added 80 for the fifth wicket to get India back into the game. Rohit did get out but Saurabh Tiwary joined Pathan and added another fifty runs for the sixth wicket. Pathan hit seven fours and six sixes to get to his century. Much like Virender Sehwag he also got to the century with a six off the bowling of Andy McKay.
