AHMEDABAD, India : It took Usman Khawaja three trips to India and a tweaked batting approach to register his first test hundred in the country, and the Australia opener was thrilled after finally ticking the milestone off his bucket list on Thursday.
The pitch for the fourth and final test in Ahmedabad provided easily the best batting conditions in the series and Khawaja responded with an unbeaten 104 to power Australia to a commanding 255-4. "There was a lot of emotion in that," Khawaja told the broadcasters after bringing up his 14th test hundred in the final over of the day."It was a long journey. To finally get a hundred in India, as an Australian that's what you want to do, that's what you want to tick off, so it's very special."
