Manoj Tiwary's Maiden First Class Triple Century Puts Bengal On Top

His final 50 came off just 37 balls as he got to the landmark in the fourth ball of the final session of the second day, gliding part-timer Buddhi Rahul through covers boundary.

Bengal immediately declared their first innings at 635 for seven.

Tiwary, who last played for India in 2015, also became only the second batsman from Bengal to hit a triple ton -- after Devang Gandhi's 323 versus Assam at Guwahati in the 1998-99 season.

His previous best was 267 as Bengal skipper against Madhya Pradesh in a drawn encounter in Kolkata in 2011-12 season.
