7 players you wouldn't believe are test centurions

7.Ajit Agarkar

Ajit Agarkar

In one of the most memorable batting performances by an Indian tail-ender, Ajit Agarkar scored an elegant 109* filled with exquisite cover drives and perfectly timed back foot punches in Lords in the first test of India's tour of England in 2002.

In the process, Agarkar did what only 8 other Indian batsmen have done and got his name up on the famous and much venerated Lord's honours board. Chasing a gigantic target of 568 runs, Agarkar came into bat at number 8 just before the close of play on day 4. His ton, however, didn't prove to be enough as India ended up losing the match by 170 runs in a game that a lot of Indian fans fondly remember for different reasons.

Agarkar then continued on to have a rather unremarkable test batting career after this, eventually ending up with a batting average of 16.79 across 26 games with this famous 109* being the only 50 plus score in his career.
