Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan created history by becoming the first Indian player to score a hundred in his 100th ODI. The left-handed batsman achieved the feat during the fourth ODI of the six-match series against South Africa at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday. Indian Opening batsmen Shikhar Dhawan first scores his 13th ODI century and then go on to shared a second wicket partnership of 158 with Indian captain Virat Kohli, who was dismissed for only the second time in the series after scoring 75. Kohli has made 393 runs in four innings in helping India take an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the six-match series. Shikhar Dhawan surpassed former India skipper Sourav Ganguly, who made 97 against the same opponents in his 100th ODI in the 1999 World Cup, to get to the milestone.
Having failed in the three-match Test series against South Africa, which India lost 1-2, Dhawan roared back to form in this series, scoring 35, 51 not out and 76 in the first three ODIs. Australian opener David Warner was the last batsman to achieve the landmark who scored a ton against India in September last year.
Here is a list of all batsmen who slammed a ton in their 100th ODI match:
