In a game of cricket, a century is the most memorable moment for a player. To score a century in the gentleman’s game is not child’s play. A century in any format is the most priceless achievement, not only for the player but also for their fans. A player not only has to focus on his game but also read the prevailing conditions. Continuously reading the pace of the game and the pitching conditions is also a necessary skill. Reaching a three-figure mark in a T20I game is a mark of pure excellence.
Not to ignore the term pressure in a game like this. The pressure on the batsman for the urge to score a century is unimaginable, as is the pressure from the team and fans.
