CENTURIES THAT MARKED PROGRESS
Mohammad Yousuf scored his 20th Test hundred in Pakistan v West Indies in 2006, the same fixture in which Umar Gul and Chris Gayle both reached 50 Test wickets. AB de Villiers scored his 15th ODI hundred in Pakistan v South Africa in 2013, the same day he also brought up 6000 ODI runs, two separate career landmarks landing together. Faf du Plessis scored his 10th ODI hundred in Australia v South Africa in 2018. Of the three, Yousuf's tally was the highest, his 20th Test hundred, against de Villiers' 15th and du Plessis' 10th in one-day cricket.
