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.
