Cricketers with the highest percentage of boundaries in a Test century

#6 VVS Laxman (India): 100 out of 124 (80.65%)

Laxman was all guile and finesse in his knock of 124

The fourth instance against New Zealand, and perhaps the most graceful of them all. India were 314 behind in the 3rd innings vs New Zealand at Napier. In a classical backs-to-the-wall situation, Laxman exhibited the most eye pleasing piece of batting that one could wish to see.

In an innings where Gambhir took almost 11 hours for his 137, Laxman scored his 124 runs in the most masterly manner possible. Adding two match-saving partnerships – 96 with Gambhir for the 4th wicket, and 120* for the 5th with Yuvraj Singh, Laxman outscored both of them, and quite incredibly, scored a century of runs in boundaries itself. Through his characteristic drives, flicks and pulls, Laxman stamped himself in the book of uncanny records by scoring more than 80% of his total aggregate in boundaries.
