Batsmen who scored a century in Tests, whenever the team either lost the match or…

New Delhi. There are many batsmen in Test cricket in whom the team did not face defeat in the match in which they played a century. From the point of view of India, the most popular name in this is Gundappa Vishwanath. This stylish batsman of India scored 14 centuries in his test career, in all these tests the Indian team either won or the match was a draw. In this matter, the name of South Africa’s Graeme Smith is at the top position. Smith, a left-handed batsman and captain of South Africa in many tests, has 27 centuries in his name. The team did not lose in any of the Tests in which he scored a century. England’s veteran batsmen Geoff Boycott, Wally Hammond and Ian Bell also have 22-22 Test centuries in their names. Whenever this ‘trio’ of batsmen scored a Test century, their team did not lose the match. Either the England team won the match or the match was a draw.

On the contrary, there are some unlucky batsmen who whenever they scored a century in Test cricket, the team either lost or the match was a draw. In the match in which he scored a century, the team did not win. The name of India’s Vijay Manjrekar is included in this. Sanjay Manjrekar’s father Vijay Manjrekar, who played for India in the 1980s and 1990s, scored 7 centuries in 55 Tests between 1951 and 1965, but the Indian team did not win any of them.

Asanka Gurusinghe has named 7 test centuries

Sri Lankan left-handed batsman Asanka Gurusingha played 41 Test and 147 ODI matches from 1985 to 1996. Gurusingha was a key member of the 1996 World Cup champion Sri Lankan team. He scored 307 runs in 6 matches of the tournament at an average of 51.16. Gurusingha scored 7 centuries in Tests and his highest score was 143 runs, which he made in the Melbourne Test against Australia in 1995. He has also done the feat of scoring centuries in both the innings of a test. He scored 119 runs in the first innings of the Hamilton Test against New Zealand in February 1991 and 102 runs in the second innings. However, in whatever Test Gurusingha scored a century, no Sri Lankan got victory. Of the six Tests in which he scored 7 centuries (centuries in both innings of a Test), Sri Lanka lost two while four were drawn.

Lawrence Rowe scored centuries in both innings of his debut test.

Lawrence Rowe of West Indies made a explosive start to his Test career. In his debut Test in 1972, he scored a double century in the first innings and an unbeaten century in the second innings. However, he could not maintain the shine of the initial phase for long. It was during his cricket career that he faced a problem with his vision. Due to allergy to grass, his career was also affected. Due to this, Rowe could play only 30 Tests and 11 ODIs. Rowe has scored 2017 runs in 30 tests at an average of 43.55, which includes 7 centuries. Rowe also scored a triple and a double century in Test cricket, but during his seven centuries, the Indies team never got victory. Of the six Tests in which Rowe scored this century (centuries in both innings of a Test), four were draws while the Indies team had to face defeat in two.

Andrew Jones has scored centuries in both innings of the test

Andrew Jones was counted among the reliable batsmen of New Zealand of his era. He played 39 Test and 87 ODI matches between 1987 and 1995. In Test cricket, Jones scored 2922 runs at an average of 44.27, which included 7 centuries. During this period, Andrew Jones’s highest score of 186 runs was the highest score in Test cricket. Jones was a capable batsman and the achievement of scoring a century in both the innings of a Test and a partnership of 467 runs with Martin Crowe for the third wicket is also recorded in his name. Jones added 467 runs with Martin Crowe in the 1991 Wellington Test, which is the second highest partnership ever for the third wicket. In the same year, in the Hamilton Test against Sri Lanka, he scored 122 runs in the first innings and 100 not out in the second innings. In ODIs, Jones scored 2784 runs with a highest score of 93 and an average of 35.69, which included 25 half-centuries. Unfortunately, he could not convert any of his half-centuries into a century. Jones was unfortunate that out of the six tests in which he scored centuries (centuries in both innings of a test), the team did not win any of them. All these six tests were drawn.
