As a bowling all-rounder with the experience of having played only four test matches, Jayant Yadav to most people is a very surprising test centurion.

Brought into the side primarily for his bowling, Yadav came in to bat at number 9 in the 4th test of England's tour of India in 2014. What followed was a record 8th wicket partnership of 241 with Virat Kohli which set India up for a huge victory by an innings and 36 runs.

Yadav's almost flawless hundred- the first by an Indian number 9- was overshadowed by Kohli's famous double hundred that took a lot of the limelight away from him in what was an amazing all-round performance in only his third test match.

Unfortunately, post this series Yadav sustained an injury and has not had an international call-up ever since, despite having impressed with his all-round ability in his short test career up until that point.
