    West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite slammed his 12th Test ton (182) in the ongoing first of two-match series against Zimbabwe on Sunday. The opening batter breached the 100-run mark on Day 2 in what was a rain-truncated affair in Bulawayo. Brathwaite fetched a 300-plus run opening stand with Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who notched his maiden Test ton. Here, we decode Brathwaite's stats in Test cricket.

    Fourth overseas Test ton

    It was a calculated knock from Brathwaite, who survived an early run-out scare. The right-handed batter ran a double to reach his 12th ton in the whites and fourth in overseas conditions. Resuming from 116* at stumps, Brathwaite dealt in boundaries as he steered to a 312-ball 182 (4s: 18). Wellington Masakadza's arm ball got him out LBW on Day 3.

    Brathwaite's Test numbers against Zimbabwe

    Brathwaite has raced to 303 runs against Zimbabwe while averaging 75.75. He has clocked his maiden ton and second fifty-plus score overall. Prior to this knock, his scores against Zimbabwe read 3, 86, and 32. Each of those knocks was registered in Zimbabwe.

    Brathwaite-Chanderpaul keep the hosts at bay

    Despite rain proving to be a hindrance, Brathwaite and Chanderpaul have been a class act in the opening Test. The duo added a behemoth 336-plus run stand among themselves. Notably, it's only the 10th double-century opening partnership for West Indies in Test cricket. It's the highest opening stand by WI in red-ball cricket. They broke Gordon Greenidge-Desmond Haynes' 298-run partnership against England in 1990.

    Decoding Brathwaite's Test numbers 

    Brathwaite made his debut against Pakistan in 2011. He has since amassed 5,271 runs across 82 matches. He has struck 12 hundreds and 28 fifties, with the best score of 212 (versus Bangladesh). He has scored 2,374 runs in away venues, averaging 33.91. At home, Brathwaite owns 2,550 runs at 35.91 (100s: 7, 50s: 12). Meanwhile, he has compiled 347 runs at neutral venues.

    How has the first Test panned out?

    WI have put up a dominant show after electing to bat first. Despite losing 52 overs due to rain on Day 2, the visitors steered their way to 221/0 at stumps. Chanderpaul-Brathwaite powered their side to 336/1 before the latter departed. Kyle Mayers (20) returned to the pavilion sometime later. For Zimbabwe, Brandon Mavuta and Masakadza have picked a wicket each.

    Brathwaite-Chanderpaul ink this feat

    As per Kausthub Gudipati, Brathwaite and Chanderpaul are the first opening pair to bat 100 overs (114.1) in a Test inning in the 21st century. The last pair to do it was Marvan Atapattu-Sanath Jayasuriya against Pakistan in 2000.
