Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has recalled his maiden and lone Test century he scored against West Indies on June 11, 2006 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium (formerly known as Beausejour Stadium), Gros Islet in St Lucia . Kaif, who represented India in just 13 Tests, scored 624 runs which include unbeaten 148 and three half-centuries. Kaif was handed the Test debut in 2000 against South Africa at Bengaluru. Meanwhile, the former batsman took to Twitter and said he would cherish his Test century the most as a cricketer. Mohammad Kaif Recalls MS Dhoni’s 148-Run Knock vs Pakistan in 2005, Says ‘Hadn’t Seen Anyone Batting Like That’.
