On the verge of completing 100 matches in the longest format of the game, Jonny Bairstow on Tuesday said that "means hell of a lot".

The 34-year-old on the opening day of the IND vs ENG 5th Test test will become the 17th England batsman to attain the milestone. The IND vs ENG 5th Test will start on Thursday and it will be an emotional week for Bairstow, who endured a tough childhood and a long career-threatening injury.
