While we fans have our own list of the very best of the centuries of Sunny , the little master rates this one as something special as it was scored under very challenging conditions ......
Look at the sky....its overcast ...typical English weather ....swinging heavily.My favourites are :
1. 221 in Oval 2nd innings in 1979
2. 120 in Delhi vs mightly West Indies ( Marshall, Holding, Roberts etc ) in1984
3. 90 in Ahmedabad vs Windies in 1984
Sunny had also scored a century during the tour of 1976 to West Indies. At that time, Holding, Croft and Roberts were at the peak . These special knocks are not available on video...
Needless to mention, the final innings in Bangalore where he had to play a solo role on a minefield of a pitch is something outstanding ! Alas, India lost to Pakistan by 16 runs .......
