# Azharuddin’s effort
came in the first 3 tests of his career – the only player to do so.
# Charles Macartney,
Shoaib Mohammed and Matthew Hayden scored the last 3 hundreds of their career in
consecutive tests.
# Ken Barrington scored
the last 4 hundreds of their career in consecutive tests.
# Gautam Gambhir’s
last 5 test hundreds came in consecutive tests – test #24 to test #28. In the
next 28 tests of his career, he didn’t score a single century.
# Alan Melville scored
4 hundreds in 3 tests. These were his 4 hundreds in his entire career. The
first & second instances of the above table came on either side of WW II.
# Sunil Gavaskar’s
first 4 test hundreds came in 3 consecutive tests – this came in his debut
series.
# Mark Burgess in the
only one to score 3 hundreds all against separate oppositions. Also his efforts
came in 3 separate calender years.
# These remains the only
three hundreds of their career of Ravi Bopara and Usman Khawaja though both are
still active players.
