Scoring a hundred in Test cricket is already considered a very big accomplishment, however, doing it in the 100th Test makes the moment even more special. Very few players have managed to get this milestone throughout the long history of the game.
The cricketers not only proved to be consistent but also played the day when it mattered the most to them personally. Here is a rundown of all the players who have hit a Test century in the 100th Test match.
Colin Cowdrey was the very first one to achieve it back in 1968, and only a couple more have been added to this rare list since then. Ricky Ponting is the only player in the world who has scored two centuries in his 100th Test.
The list that spans from legends like Javed Miandad and Gordon Greenidge to modern-day greats like Joe Root and David Warner consists of some of the most remarkable batters ever to play the game.
