Usman Khwaja was craving for one run against Team India, but now this player has once again returned to color. Usman Khwaja scored a brilliant century in the first Test against Sri Lanka. The left -handed batsman achieved this position for the 16th time in Test career. Now he is just a century behind Australia's legendary wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, who had 17 Test centuries. By the way, Usman Khwaja has also ended his 14 years of exile by scoring this century. Let us tell you what is the matter?

Usman Khwaja's century

It is very special for Usman Khwaja to score a century in the Gaul Test because this player has hit a test century on Sri Lankan soil for the first time. Khwaja played the second series of his Test career against Sri Lanka in 2011 but he could never score a century on Sri Lankan land. Now this player has scored a Test century in Sri Lanka after 14 years.

Scored a century after 591 days

Usman Khwaja was running out of form for a long time. He scored the last century on 17 June 2023. That century of Khwaja came out in the Birmingham Test against England. Now after a full 591 days, Khwaja has scored a test century. This 38 -year -old player was also badly flopped in the Test series against India, after which there was talk of getting them out of the team. In the Test series against India, he was able to score only 184 runs in 5 matches. His batting average was 20.44. Earlier, in the Test series against New Zealand, he could only score 88 runs at an average of 22. Now if Khwaja had failed against Sri Lanka too, he could have been dropped from the team, but this player has shut down the mouth of his critics by scoring a century.
