There is no stopping VVS Laxman on this tour. His 131 today saw him joining Saurav Ganguly to score three or more hundreds in a ODI tournament. Incidentally he is the 7th batsman in the world to achieve this feat. As he took his VB series tally to 381, he has now compiled 876 runs on this tour. This includes three ODI tons and two Test centuries.

The other batsmen to score three centuries in a limited overs tournament were David Gower in B&H series in 1982-83, Graeme Hick in C&U series in 1998-88, Mark Waugh in 1996 World Cup and Ganguly in

2003 World Cup. Saeed Anwar too had scored three tons in Champions Trophy at Sharjah in 1993-94.

Zaheer Abbas is the ony batsman who scored three tons in a series – in succssive matches – against India in the four match series played in Pakistan in 1982-83.
