Eighth Instance For India
When Saurav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid scored hundreds against Sri
Lanka, that was the eighth instance when two Indian batsmen made
hundreds in the same LOI match. This was the second time when Ganguly
and Dravid figured in this list. On both occassions, the suffering
team has been Sri Lanka: the previous instance happened merely two
months ago at Nagpur.
The remarkable feat being the fact that Sachin tendulkar and Rahul
Dravid had made hundreds in the same match in the previous game
itself: against Kenya just three days ago. Dravid's brilliant form in
joining Ganguly this time makes it his second hundred in three days.
The following table lists all the eight occassions when two Indian
batsmen scored hundreds in the same match.
