Opting to bat on a cloudy morning, Ganguly\u2019s decision paid off as Sanjay Bangar and Rahul Dravid laid a solid foundation. With centuries from Dravid, Tendulkar, and Ganguly, India posted a huge total. Ganguly was particularly aggressive, dominating spinner Ashley Giles en route to a brisk 128 that helped India secure a memorable win and level the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Shubman Gill \u2013 147 at Leeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-96.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1602\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-96.png 768w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-96-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Facing criticism after a poor outing against Australia, newly appointed as Indian captain Shubman Gill responded with a statement knock. Taking on the England bowlers with flair, Gill struck his sixth Test century and was eventually dismissed for 147, silencing doubters with his aggressive and composed innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi \u2013 148 at Leeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-97.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1603\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-97.png 628w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-97-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/index.php\/2025\/06\/19\/mukesh-kumars-cryptic-karma\/\">In the 1967 Leeds Test, after England posted 550\/4 led by Boycott\u2019s 246, India were forced to follow on after being bowled out for 164<\/a>. It was then that Pataudi showed true grit, producing a classy and resilient 148. Though India couldn\u2019t avoid defeat, Pataudi\u2019s knock stood as a symbol of fight and finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Virat Kohli \u2013 149 at Birmingham<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-98-1024x617.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-98-1024x617.png 1024w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-98-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-98-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-98.png 1120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Booed by the crowd when he walked in, Kohli left to a standing ovation after one of his finest Test innings. In the 2018 Birmingham Test, India lost wickets regularly, but Kohli stood tall, battling tough conditions to score a defiant 149 and silence critics in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Mohammad Azharuddin \u2013 179 at Manchester<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-99-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-99-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-99-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-99-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-99.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/index.php\/2025\/06\/19\/nair-vs-sudharsan\/\">While the 1990 Manchester Test is often remembered for Tendulkar\u2019s maiden century in England, Azharuddin\u2019s magnificent 179 deserves equal recognition.<\/a> Chasing England\u2019s 519, Azhar played a brilliant knock filled with wristy elegance and flair. His innings helped India draw the match and remains one of his finest as captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sign up fast for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/\">e2bet77<\/a>\u00a0now and claim your free bonus with your first registration!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shubman Gill, India\u2019s new captain and No. 4 batter, showcased his brilliance with a maiden Test century in SENA conditions.
