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.
