Yet another grand personal feat was witnessed at the Kotla in Delhi yesterday when Mumbai's Ajinkya Rahane scored his second century of the Test against South Africa to become the fifth Indian after Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar (thrice), Rahul Dravid (twice) and Virat Kohli to score twin Test centuries.


Chandu Borde, scored 109 and 96 vs West Indies in the 1959 Delhi Test

It was here where batting legend Sunil Gavaskar equalled Sir Don Bradman's record number of Test centuries (29) in 1983 while taking on Clive Lloyd's West Indian pace battery. In 1999, Anil Kumble achieved the near-unthinkable 10-wickets-in-an-innings feat against Pakistan. Six years later, Sachin Tendulkar went past Gavaskar's record tally of 34 Test hundreds – against Sri Lanka in the Capital.
