Kanpur, Nov 24: Opener Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday earned a rare distinction by becoming the third Indian batsman after Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid to score four consecutive Test centuries.
Gambhir scored 167 as India made 417 for two in the first innings against Sri Lanka at the end of first day’s play in the second cricket Test here at the Green Park Stadium.
In the first Test in Ahmedabad, Gambhir had scored a match-saving 114 in the second innings. In the last Test series in New Zealand, he had scored 137 and 167 in Napier and Wellington.
Gambhir has been in terrific form this year and has also been adjudged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as the Test player of the year. He has also scored seven hundreds in his last nine Tests.
