India scored three hundreds in an innings in England for the second time in history, during the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series in Headingley on Saturday.
On Friday, the opening day of Test, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill had smashed hundreds to put India in control.
Wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant added the third ton for India on Saturday as India continued to assert itself in the series opener.
The only other time India has tallied three hundreds in an innings in England was in 2002, when Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid scored centuries, interestingly also at Leeds.
This is also the fourth time India has scored three hundreds in an innings in a Test match outside Asia:
