It was no less than a dream come true for Australian opener Usman Khawaja after he completed a very special Test hundred on Indian soil. And why wouldn`t it be? It is an achievement he had only dreams about, having carried the drinks on his previous tours of India in 2013 and 2017. The 36-year-old batted for six hours straight to grind down a quality attack, scoring an unbeaten 104 out of team`s 255 for four on Thursday in the fourth and final Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
"I don`t think I have ever smiled so much on getting a century, there was emotion in it. I have done two (Test) tours of India before (2013 and 2017). Carried the drinks for eight Test matches before I got a chance here," he said, smiling gleefully.
