List of all batters with century in their 100th Test outing
The 100th Test match holds a special place in the heart of a cricketer as it symbolises all the hard work the player has put in.
8. Hashim Amla
Hashim Amla was a superstar of the game. He was South Africa’s match-winner with the bat and amassed truckloads of runs across formats. He featured in 124 Tests and scored 9282 runs at an average of 46.64. When it came to ODIs, he piled on 8113 runs in 181 games at an average of 49.46.
When South Africa encountered Sri Lanka in the final game of the three-match Test series in January 2017 in Johannesburg, it was the 100th match of Amla’s Test career and he was in his elements. The Durban-born racked up 134 runs off 265 balls. Jean-Paul Duminy was also in top form and scored 155 runs off 221 deliveries.
Courtesy of incredible centuries from the duo, South Africa posted 426 runs on the board. Sri Lanka, in response, were bowled out for 131 runs in the first innings and the Lankan Lions could manage merely 177 runs in the second innings. Faf du Plessis & co. won the game by an innings and 118 runs.
