What's Azharuddin Doing In London?

Mohammad Azharuddin is currently enjoying the English summer in London, reminiscing about his historic Test debut against England where he became the first player to score three consecutive centuries. Azharuddin holds a unique record as the first player in Test history to score centuries in each of his first three Test matches, all against England in 1984-1985. His debut century was an 110 against England at Eden Gardens in December 1984, followed by 105 and 122 in subsequent Tests. Azharuddin shares a special connection with England, scoring 625 runs in nine Tests at an average of 41.66. Notable performances include a blazing 121 from 111 balls against England at Lord's in 1990 and a brilliant 179 in the second Test in Manchester during the same series.
