#3 Jayant Yadav (India) – 104 Against England, Mumbai, 2016
On what looked like a track that was doing quite a bit, Yadav joined his skipper on 364 for 7, India still trailing by 36 runs, after England won the toss, batted first and posted 400. Yadav matched his skipper stroke for stroke, adding 241 for the eighth wicket.
By the time he was out stumped, Yadav ensured India’s lead swelled to 205. India eventually managed 631, almost unimaginable when it was 307 for 6 and was only hoping to not hand England a massive and crucial first innings lead.
Yadav’s long vigil also ensured Kohli had a chance to score a double ton, his third of the year. India eventually won the match by an innings and 36 runs.
