a. MS Dhoni
b. Virat Kolhi
c. KL Rahul
d. None of the above

ANSWER: KL Rahul
 
Playing his first ODI for India at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday, Rahul remained unbeaten on 100, off 115 balls, and helped the visitors register a commanding nine-wicket victory to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
  • In the process, he became the first Indian to reach the landmark on ODI debut.
  • Robin Uthappa's 86 against England in Indore on April 15, 2006 was the highest score for India by a debutant in ODIs.
  • Rahul made his Test debut against Australia in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne in 2014 as a middle-order batsman, but managed to score just 3 and 1 in his first two innings of the longest-format.
