Thu, Oct 10, '13

HUBLI: Out-of-favour opener Gautam Gambhir cracked his first century in more than two years as India A came up with a solid batting display to take firm control of the third unofficial 'Test' against the West Indies A on Thursday.

Day two saw host batsmen dominating throughout as out-of-form skipper Cheteshwar Pujara's also hit a brilliant ton to remain unbeaten on 139 when the stumps were drawn. Giving him company at the other end was Abhishek Nayar on 10.

India A were leading by 66 runs in their first innings with as many as seven wickets remaining at the KSCA Stadium.
