It was Hayden who won the race to the three-figure mark. Moving from 91 to 97 with a clean hit that cleared the ropes on the on side, Hayden managed to employ the sweep well and get to his century off 101 balls. Clearly overjoyed at his effort Hayden acknowledged the crowd's cheers, took his helmet off and kissed the Baggy Green badge. An emotional cricketer, Hayden has managed himself impeccably on this tour of India. Ricky Ponting, not one to underestimate Hayden's effort quickly went across to congratulate the southpaw on his century.
