India all-rounder Hardik Pandya had scored his first Test hundred three years back on August 13. He relieved those memories after going through Mumbai Indians' (MI) post on Twitter.

Pandya said he remembers everything about his special knock for India. On his way to the hundred, Pandya smashed Malinda Pushpakumara for 26 runs in an over which was most by an Indian in Test cricket.

Hardik reached the hundred on just 86 balls at Pallekele and became the fastest Indian to score a century batting at No.8 in Tests. In his knock, Pandya smashed 7 sixes in the innings which is joint second-most by an Indian batsman in Test.

"A special moment. Still remember every bit of it.", he wrote on Twitter recalling the hundred against Sri Lanka.

After the hundred, Pandya had said, “I am glad that I got my first hundred here, I didn’t have a First-Class hundred before coming here. The situation was pretty good for me when I went in and I knew that I could back my instincts."
