    "editor1": "<p><strong>Visakhapatnam, Oct 3:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Mayank Agarwal on Thursday became the fourth Indian batsman to convert his maiden century into a double hundred. Playing his fifth Test match, Mayank played a superb knock of 215 in the first innings of the first Test between India and South Africa at the ACA-VDCA Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 28-year-old is now the fourth Indian batsman after Karun Nair, Vinod Kambli and Dilip Sardesai to convert their maiden Test tons into a double century. Nair had scored 303, his first Test century against England in 2016, Kambli had scored 224 against England in 1993 and Sardesai had scored 200* against New Zealand in 1965.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Mayank, was involved in a record breaking 317-run opening partnership with Rohit Sharma. The pair became the third Indian batting pair to stitch together a partnership of 300 runs or more in Test cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit, who was opening the innings for the first time in Test cricket, scored 176 while Mayank contributed with 137 during their historic partnership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The other two Indian opening pair to stitch together a partnership of more than 300 runs in Test cricket are Vinoo Mankad-Pankaj Roy (413 against New Zealand in 1956) and Virender Sehwag-Rahul Dravid (410 against Pakistan in 2006).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The record-breaking partnership was also the 12th highest opening partnership in Test cricket. Mayank got out for 215 from 371 deliveries. His innings was studded with 23 fours and six sixes.<\/p>\r\n",
