The first one is always hardest no matter what you\u2019re playing. It\u2019s obviously a special one. I found the same thing in Test cricket as well as in one-day cricket. I got that 98 a few years ago, it was frustrating and disappointing,\u201d said Khwaja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia have won an overseas ODI for the first time since 2017 and Khawaja is absolutely delighted.\u201cAny win you are very happy. That\u2019s why we play the game. We love competing and winning against a very good Indian side. It\u2019s always nice to do that especially on their turf. We lost the first two and won the third one. We are still in the series and the feeling is good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was no set plan. It was just the feeling out in the middle. Instincts. When a bowler comes on&#8211;you feel like he can take him. When Kuldeep came on, I knew he was hitting to the short side with the spin. When he took him on that first over, it was obvious he could clear the rope pretty easily with that short boundary.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usman Khawaja termed his maiden hundred in ODI as a \u201chuge thing\u201d simply because the first one is always difficult to get.Khawaja hit a 104-run knock and shared a 193-run stand with captain and fellow opener Aaron Finch to play a significant role in Australia\u2019s 32-run win in the third ODI.\u201cYeah, it\u2019s huge.
