What a Legend, Alastair Cook – Harbhajan Singh

On historic achievement of the feat by Cook, Harbhajan recalled a moment when he dropped the Englishman in his debut Test match. The drop catch led the former English skipper to score a fine century in India on his debut.

On the other hand, he is leaving the field with yet another century against India.

Alastair Cook knocks 33rd Test tonne in his final inning:

After starting the day four of the fifth Test at The Kennington Oval in London on a defensive note, Cook kept Indians chasing the leather often than not. He smashed those crispy drives and played with a sheer determination.

The outgoing Cook and 33-year-old, who received a standing ovation at The Oval in London, reached his century with the overthrow of the Indian fielder.

However, the celebrations and the emotions shown by fans was an absolute treat to watch for the cricket fanatics. During the course, Cook also achieved numerous records as well.
