Yuvraj Singh's score of 169 on the first day of the Bangalore Test was not just the highest of his Test career, infact 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 single session.
Only three Indians have done so before Yuvraj - none on the first day of the match.
