Let's go again

Only three Indian left handers have scored a Test century against Bangladesh.

Can you name them?

Gautum Gambhir 100% did, because he came very close in a series in BD to equalling Bradman's consecutive 100s record.

After that we are in guess street. Ganguly would be the obvious one... Risbah Pant also?

I'm not up on Indian cricketers, but I remember Yuvi being a left hander. Did he also score a century against BD?

Mongia never played a test.

I think Irfan Pathan hit a century at one point when Asian pitches were roads.... Pathan?

I can't remember his first name, but the left handed opener who looked rubbish in England around 2012.... Mukund?

Although I'd be surprised if he was capable
