This happened after 25 years.
In the year 1996, Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, scored a century in the debut Test against England at the same ground at Lords.
Ever since no other batsman has done this. Conway became the first batsman to do so at Lord’s, playing a debut match after 25 years.
