position. It was also Zimbabwe's highest fifth wicket partnership in ODIs. He was awarded the player of the series for his heroics with the bat and ball throughout the series and it was incredibly Zimbabwe's first ODI series win over Bangladesh since 2013. During the third and final ODI against India in August 2022, he played one of the most breathtaking counter-attacking knocks in ODI cricket by scoring 115 off just 95 balls (at one phase he moved from 46 to 100 in just 36 deliveries) and his knock included nine fours and three sixes with a strike rate boasting 121.05 despite his knock couldn't help Zimbabwe to cross the line. His knock certainly paved a way for a possible prospect of a shock win over India as Zimbabwe managed to overcome from 169/7 to within touching distance of a famous victory albeit Sikandar Raza's monumental century. However, India prevailed in the end soon after the dismissal of Raza whose marathon knock was brought to an end by a spectacular stunning diving catch from Shubman Gill in the penultimate over. Zimbabwe was bowled out for 276 runs thus falling short of the victory target by 14 runs denying a consolation win for the hosts. Raza subsequently joined an elite list of having scored the most number of ODI centuries in run chases in a single calendar year with only Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ahead of him in that list. Raza became the first player to score three ODI centuries in ODI run chases in a same month of a calendar year as all three of his centuries in 2022 came in run chases in the month of August. Raza made the most out of 2022 in the shorter formats aggregating 615 runs in ODIs and 516 runs in T20Is.
