Malan, who opened England\u2019s innings with Jonny Bairstow, also became the third batsman from his country to score a World Cup century on Indian soil, after Gooch and Andrew Strauss.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/10\/10\/12\/AFP_33XX6GZ.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/10\/09\/12\/1725588366.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/10\/09\/09\/08-305011384f0e4ddeb644834cae16cc49.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/10\/10\/10\/10-2929e16455c94c5598244b7f4ecca287.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Gooch achieved the feat during the Cricket World Cup in 1987 where he scored a 136-ball 115 against the home side at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
