Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and MS Dhoni scored centuries against South Africa in the ongoing second test at the Eden Gardens. This was the only second instance when four Indian batsmen scored a ton in the same innings of a test. In the only previous occasion Indians have done it against Bangladesh at Mirpur in 2007.
