Dravid 9th to score two twin 100's in a match

On the fourth day of the second Test against Pakistan at Kolkata, India’s Rahul Dravid became only the ninth player and the second Indian to score two hundreds in match on two or more occasions. Dravid had previously performed this feat against New Zealand at Hamilton in 1998-99, scoring 190 and 103* in first and second innings respectively. Sunil Gavaskar still remains as the only player in Test annals with three such instances. Dravid also provided the sixth instance of an Indian scoring twin hundreds in a Test. Vijay Hazare is the other Indian after Gavaskar and Dravid to perform such feat. It was also the seventh time that this feat has been performed by any player against Pakistan.
