Indians with fifer and hundred in same Test match

R Ashwin registered a unique hat-trick today by scoring a hundred and taking a fifer in the same Test for a third time in his Test career.

The off spinner who had returned with 5 wickets on Day 2 to rout England for 134, scored a masterclass 106 under pressure today batting England out of the match - it was his fifth Test century and his first at his home ground in Chennai.

It was also only the fifth instance in India's Test cricket history when a player had scored a hundred and picked five wickets in an innings in the same Test. Astonishingly, Ashwin finds his name on the honours board three out of the five times! Here are all the instances where an Indian took a fifer and scored a century in a Test match:
