Laxman Gambhir hit Double-tons against Aussies

 www.forwards4all.com

Riding on the unbroken 236-run stand between unbeaten centurions Gautam Gambhir (191) and VVS Laxman (104), India reached a commanding 393 for three wickets at lunch on day two of the third cricket Test against Australia.

Resuming on the overnight score of 296 for three, both Gambhir and Laxman milked the Australian attack dry with consummate ease as India went on piling runs, blunting the Australian attack.

A cover-driven boundary off Cameron White brought up his 13th Test century, his sixth against Australia. At the other end, Gambhir maintained his cool, helping himself to the occasional boundaries as well.

Gambhir's unbeaten 362-ball knock included 25 boundaries and a six, while Laxman, playing his 99th Test, hit 10 fours during his 174-ball stay so far.

Soon after lunch, Indian opener Gautam Gambhir reached to his maiden double hundred. In Pic: Gautam Gambhir raises his bat after scoring his maiden double century.

Watson, who was involved in an ugly spat with Gambhir on Wednesday, finally ended Gambhir's 550 minute vigil that included 26 boundaries and one six. Gambhir's inside edge disturbed the stumps.

It was another special from Laxman, who has been a thorn in the Aussies' flesh throughout his career. Laxman is a treat to watch when in full flow and at Kotla Thursday, the stylish Hyderbadi proved that his supple wrists are still better for a couple of years of cricket.

This was the first occasion when two Indians scored double centuries in a Test innings and also the first by two batsmen from any country to score against Australia. For Laxman, his 278-run partnership with Gambhir is another record, being his fourth stand over 2000 runs. The stand was also the best for any wicket at Kotla, eclipsing the 267 by West Indians Clyde Walcott and Gerry Gomez in the first Test played here in 1948.

After the fall of Kumble, Zaheer Khan hit five fours in his 21-ball 28 and the moment Laxman got to his double century the declaration came.
