Every hundred

  1. 110 v Australia, Sydney, 2015 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. A dead rubber (the series was already decided) that his side did not win.

  2. 108 v Sri Lanka, Colombo (PSS), 2015 · Away · Won

    A good ton. He came in comfortably, and the team did not depend on him.

  3. 199 v England, Chennai, 2016 · At home · Won

    A good ton. He made 26% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.

  4. 158 v West Indies, Kingston, 2016 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.

  5. 149 v England, The Oval, 2018 · Away · Lost
