It was his fifth Test ton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vinoo Mankad (vs England at Lord&#39;s, London, in 1952) and Polly Umrigar (vs West Indies in Port of Spain in 1961-62) are the other Indians to score a century and take five wickets in an innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;<strong>So, for a man who allegedly picks wickets on turners according to some, gets a hundred on a turner in the 2nd innings..
