India vice-captain Rahul Dravid said his centuries in both innings of the second cricket Test are all the more "special" because it helped the team record its first-ever victory against Pakistan at the the Eden Gardens.
"It is hard to compare. I have some special knocks but this is special because the team has won here," Dravid, who scored 110 and 135 in the two innings, said.

Dravid was all praise for rookie wicket-keeper Dinesh Kaarthik, who scored 93 in the second innings, and leg-spinner Anil Kumble, who picked seven wickets in the second.
"The youngster played a great knock. From there on we set up a score from where we could not have lost," Dravid said after India beat Pakistan by 195 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.
On the third and final Test to be played on his home ground in Bangalore, Dravid said, "Hopefully, we have a good result. The job is still not done. The series is still to be won.
