The first Indian to score a century in each innings of a Test match was Sunil Gavaskar, one of India's greatest cricketers of all time. Gavaskar achieved this historic feat in the third Test match against the West Indies at the Port of Spain in 1971.

At the time, India was still a relatively new team in Test cricket, having only played their first Test match in 1932. However, Gavaskar's performance in the Port of Spain Test was a sign that India was starting to make its mark on the world stage.

Gavaskar's first century of the match came in the first innings, when he scored 116 runs off 286 balls. It was a masterful display of batting, as he batted for over 10 hours to help India post a competitive total of 352 runs.

However, it was Gavaskar's second century that truly set him apart from his peers. In the second innings, he batted with even greater determination and focus, as he scored an unbeaten 220 runs off 444 balls. This innings was an incredible display of skill and stamina, as Gavaskar batted for over 12 hours to guide India to a commanding position in the match.

Gavaskar's heroics with the bat were not enough to secure victory for India, as the match ended in a draw. However, his performance was widely lauded by cricket fans and experts around the world, and it established him as one of the greatest batsmen of his generation.

Over the course of his career, Gavaskar went on to score 34 Test centuries, which was a record at the time of his retirement. He also scored over 10,000 runs in Test cricket, and was a key figure in India's rise to prominence in the sport.

Gavaskar's achievement in the Port of Spain Test was a watershed moment in Indian cricket, as it showed that India was capable of producing world-class cricketers who could compete with the best teams in the world. It also inspired a generation of young cricketers to follow in his footsteps and strive for greatness on the international stage.
