Stats: Indians with most consecutive innings without a Test hundred

India’s Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar have gone 46 and 38 Test innings without scoring a Test hundred, respectively! This was probably one of the reasons that prompted the national selectors to drop Gambhir.

The last time Sachin reached the milestone was way back in 2^nd January, 2011 against South Africa at Cape Town, when he scored 146. Therefore, Sachin must surely be under pressure to get a big one in Delhi, and it will be a big gamble to take him to South Africa later this year, more so because he will be 41 years old by then.

If you think that was bad, then have a look at Gambhir’s stats. The last time Gautam Gambhir scored a Test hundred was on 17^th January, 2010, when he scored 116 against a mediocre Bangladesh attack at Chittagong.

However, he still comes third when compared to other Indian batsmen who have gone the most number of innings without scoring a Test hundred. Ex-India opener Chetan Chauhan famously leads the table, followed by former India captain Ajit Wadekar.
