The "century" doesn't matter. It's just an arbitrary cut-off.

 

What matters is the toughness he showed in staying until the very end in the high-pressure 4th innings of an almost-lost test. He could've scored 98* facing 250 balls and it would be just as valuable and probably more valuable than most of those innings listed above.

Man of the series stolen from him.

Our guys would have folded in 4th innings.

With the possible exception of Pant and Sundar.

India won the series so Paddikal got it. Sonal couldnt save them in first Test

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Good 100’s but did SL win any matches, pointless really

Yea.. they didn't have Suthar level bowler. Also they missed 4 players

Sometimes that is a blessing in disguise.

Good effort from a weakened Sri Lankan unit.

With all their Frontline players available and bit of toss luck this could have been either 0-0 or 1-1 in their favour.

 

Gill and GG enjoyed all the luck in this tour.

he is decent but i don't rate him that highly because of two main reasons first of all every new youngster plays like bradman against our attack and second just look at kamindu mendis who started with a bang but averaged around 29 over his next 10 plus tests so let dinusha play a bit more before we rush to rate him

Just wondering how many times Sachin, who has probably played the most number of test series, scored 3 or more 100s in a series?  … His 3 or more 100s in a series to total series ratio could be among the lowest.

we were effectively bowling with one good bowler ( who was in his third test ).. rest are all either sunset bowlers or tier 2/3

He did well in WI as well. That was a much better pace attack

Exceptional attitude and a great start. I just hope they dont spoil him by playing t20. Such a Ashwin-Hanuma kind of innings. Lets see how he does when the ball moves around.  All the best buddy.
