  Gambhir, Laxman hit double centuries
30 Oct 2008
 

Gautam Gambhir struck his maiden double century while VVS Laxman registered his second as India created a run mountain agaomst Australia in the third cricket Test in New Delhi today. Gambhir (206) and Laxman (200 not out) added 278 runs for the fourth wicket to help India pile up 613 for seven before declaring their first essay 75 minutes after tea.

 

Australia were 50 for no loss in their reply with Simon Katich (29) and Matthew Hayden (16) in the middle, needing another 364 to avoid the ignominy of follow-on. Gambhir`s career-best 206 came off 380 balls with 26 fours and a six in it while Laxman`s unbeaten 200 was the result of his 301-ball stay in the middle, during which he hit 21 fours.
