#8 107 (93) vs. England, Cardiff (2011)
The reason this ton features in our list is that the particular knock came under seamy English conditions.
Considering the overcast conditions, Alastair Cook decided to bowl first. Being Rahul Dravid's final ODI, Virat stitched a 170-run partnership with the help of his farewell innings. Eventually, Virat scored his maiden ton in England, posting a total of 304 in 50 overs.
Though his knock went in vain with D/L method coming into play, it was the only positive thing out of India's win-less tour to England.
Another reason to remember this knock would be the bizarre fashion in which the beautiful innings ended as it was the only time Virat got out Hit-wicket in ODIs.
