Gary Ballance’s last test was for England
An interesting note with Gary Ballance playing for Zimbabwe is that he scored his last Test century for England and the opposition in that match was also the West Indies. Surprisingly, Shivnarine Chanderpaul was playing for the West Indies in that match. Whereas after 5 years when he scored a century for Zimbabwe, Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s son Tejnarine Chanderpaul is playing in the West Indies team in front of Gary Ballance. In this way, a unique record has also been recorded in his name.
In this Test match being played in Bulawayo, Gary Balance faced 231 balls and scored 137 runs, in which he also hit 12 fours and 2 excellent sixes.
The feat has also been done in ODI cricket
Not only Test cricket, he has also scored centuries in ODIs while playing with different countries. The names of Ed Joyce, Eoin Morgan and Mark Chapman are included in this list. Eoin Morgan, while captaining his second team, won the ICC ODI World Cup title. Eoin Morgan previously played for Ireland. After this he joined England and led the team to the 2019 World Cup title.
