List of international cricket centuries by V. V. S. Laxman
V. V. S. Laxman is an Indian cricketer who plays as a Middle-order batsman. He has scored a total of 23 centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) at the international level.[N 1] He was named by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as one of the five "Cricketers of the year" in 2002.[1]
Laxman made his Test debut against South Africa in November 1996, and took almost four years to score his first century when he scored 167 against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2000. Laxman's next century came against the same team in 2001, when he made 281 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The score is the highest individual score in a Test match between India and Australia. It was also the highest individual score by an Indian at that time.[2][3] In Test matches, Laxman has scored centuries against all the Test cricket playing nations except England and Bangladesh. As of 2012, he is seventh on the list of leading Test century makers for India.[4] Laxman has scored two double centuries and has been dismissed four times between the score of 90 and 99 in test matches.[5]
In ODIs, Laxman has scored six centuries against three countries including four against Australia. His first ODI century was against Australia in the last match of a five match series, held at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao in 2001. His highest score of 131 came against Zimbabwe at the Adelaide Oval in 2004. Two out of his six ODI centuries were scored at home grounds and four were at away (opposition's home) or neutral venues.[6] He has been dismissed once between the score of 90 and 99.[7]
