A rare feat for Yuvraj

Yuvraj's 169 in Bangalore Test was not just the highest of his Test career, it was a treat for the spectators as well. Scoring 169 runs in just two sessions is no mean achievement by any yardstick. Yuvraj, in fact, performed the rare feat of scoring a century in a session. Only three Indians have done so before Yuvraj (not two as mentioned at various places in Indian media) - none on the first day of the match.
