Resuming the day at 186 without loss, India enjoyed another dominant batting display with both openers converting their overnight starts into centuries.
Raichandani remained unbeaten on 196 off 306 balls, smashing 21 fours and three sixes. He was batting alongside Kush Patel, who was unbeaten on three at the close of play.
Sagar Virk also scores century
Raichandani found excellent support from fellow opener Sagar Virk, who scored a patient 134 off 312 deliveries.
The opening pair laid a solid platform for India before Virk departed after his century.
