Chittagong (Bangladesh), Dec 17: India put themselves in a commanding position after centuries from Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid ensured the visitors another huge total against Bangladesh in the second and final cricket Test here today.
Left-handed opener Gambhir (139) cracked his maiden Test hundred while vice-captain Dravid his 18th to become the first batsman ever to score centuries in all ten Test playing countries as India reached 334 for two at close on the first day.
Dravid was unbeaten on 145 with Tendulkar 36 not out at the other end at close on the opening day but it was Gambhir's rollicking innings that put the team on a roll after Sourav Ganguly elected to bat on a pitch that shone like marble in the morning sun. (Agencies)
