Wicketkeepers - India's pain and bane
Cricket for India

Kamran Akmal's match-saving hundred in the Mohali Test made him the 16th wicketkeeper-batsman to score a Test hundred against India.

Of the sixteen occasions when India has been at the receiving end, there are only two wherein India managed to post a win, while in the remaining instances, it either drew or lost the match. Thus, it can be said that a keeper's ton is a bad omen for India.
