Each Ranji team's last player to score a test match century for India

Inspired by u/samgoody2303, I tried to make a similar list for Indian players. Unsurprisingly, I found out most centuries are scored by players from Mumbai, Karnataka and Delhi. Here is a list of every Ranji Team's last centurion:

Delhi : Virat Kohli - 136 vs Bangladesh (22 November 2019)

Karnataka : Mayank Agarwal - 243 vs Bangladesh (14 November 2019)

Mumbai : Ajinkya Rahane - 115 vs South Africa (19 October 2019) [Rohit Sharma scored 212 in the same match but Rahane got to his century after Sharma]

Andhra : Hanuma Vihari - 111 vs West Indies (30 August 2019)

Saurashtra : Cheteshwar Pujara - 193 vs Australia (3 January 2019)

Tamil Nadu : Murali Vijay - 105 vs Afghanistan (14 June 2018)

Baroda : Hardik Pandya - 108 vs Sri Lanka (12 August 2017)

Bengal : Wriddhiman Saha - 117 vs Australia (16 March 2017)

Haryana : Jayant Yadav - 104 vs England (8 December 2016)

Jharkhand : MS Dhoni - 224 vs Australia (22 December 2013)

Hyderabad : VVS Laxman - 176* vs West Indies (14 November 2011)

Punjab : Harbhajan Singh - 111* vs New Zealand (12 November 2010)

Uttar Pradesh : Suresh Raina - 120 vs Sri Lanka (26 July 2010)

Odisha : Shiv Sunder Das - 105 vs Zimbabwe (21 February 2002)

Railways : Sanjay Bangar - 100* vs Zimbabwe (21 February 2002)

Maharashtra : Chandu Borde - 125 vs West Indies (13 January 1967)

Rajasthan : Hanumant Singh - 105 vs England (8 February 1964)

Gujarat : Nari Contractor - 108 vs Australia (1 January 1960)

Madhya Pradesh: Syed Mushtaq Ali - 106 vs West Indies (31 December 1948) [He played for so many teams so this may not be accurate]

Southern Punjab: Lala Amarnath - 118 vs England (15 December 1933) [Punjab had 2 teams in Ranji Trophy before partition]

P.S. - I have completely ignored teams like Parsees, Hindus etc. even if they had First Class Status. Furthermore, Vinoo Mankad played for so many Ranji Teams that it may have been possible that one of his centuries might've come when he played for Ranji team not mentioned in the list. If i made any mistake, do let me know.
