4.Mark Richardson 145 (Mohali 2003)
After a draw in the first Test at Ahmedabad, India and New Zealand came to Mohali in the decider, looking to clinch the series. Kiwis skipper Stephen Fleming called it right at the toss and opted to bat.
The India bowlers were put to the sword from the word-go, as the opening pair of Mark Richardson and Lou Vincent put big pressure on the Indians, stitching together a massive stand of 231 runs for the first wicket.
Richardson brought up his hundred and marched on, despite the loss of Vincent and was the second man to be dismissed for a superb 145 that ensured that the Kiwis were in the driver’s seat.
His knock played a vital role in New Zealand making a mammoth 630 for 6 declared in their first innings.
