When Rahul Dravid reached 64, he became the fourth Indian, after Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar and Sachin Tendulkar, to reach 16,000 runs in first-class cricket. But while Gavaskar and Vengsarkar average in the early fifties, Dravid's is above 57, but less than Tendulkar's average of over 61. India's total of 344 on the first day was the second-highest aggregate of runs on the first day of a Test in Kolkata. Only West Indies have scored more in 34 Tests, with 359 in 1958-59. The Sehwag-Gambhir combination put on 80 in the morning before being separated. As partners, they average 57.7 in the seven Tests they have played together. It was their fourth partnership of 80 or above. A notable point is that each time their partnership has gone beyond 20, they have put on 80 or more.
