GLORIOUS GAMBHIR CREATES HISTORY

Gautam Gambhir became the fourth batsman in Test match history to score five centuries in five Tests on Wednesday.

Gambhir charged down the track to hit a huge six to score his ninth Test match hundred on the fourth day of the first test against Bangladesh. This before he was finally claimed by Shafiul Islam for a blistering knock of 116 which contained 10 fours and one 6.

Gambhir's four earlier Test tons were in Napier (137 against New Zealand in March 2009), in Wellington (167 against New Zealand in April 2009), in Ahmedabad (114 against Sri Lanka on November 16, 2009) and in Kanpur (167 against Sri Lanka on November 24, 2009).
