Murali Vijay on Day Three Saturday Dec 10,2016 became the first Indian opener to score a Test hundred in 14 years at Wankhede stadium as India post a strong reply to England's first innings total of 400
Murali Vijay reached the milestone off 231 balls in the first session of third day's play in Mumbai. He thus became the second batsman, after team-mate Cheteshwar Pujara, to hit two hundreds in the five-match series.
It's also his eighth overall ton, and third against England.
The last opener to score a hundred at the venue was Virender Sehwag, against West Indies in 2002. Legendary Sunil Gavaskar is the only other Indian opener to get a hundred at Wankhede.
Skipper Virat Kohli continued to showcase his batting brilliance on Day Three Saturday Dec 10,2016 by scoring his 15th Test hundred (187 Balls 4x11)with a single, playing through the cover off the second ball of 121st over, bowled by Jake Ball.
Earlier in the day, Virat Kohli became the first Indian batsman to score 1000 Test runs in a calendar year, since since Rahul Dravid did it in 2011.
Virat Kohli is also the third India captain to score 1000-plus runs in a year after Sachin Tendulkar (1997) and Dravid (2006).
With more than 500 runs in the series, he became only the second Indian captain to achieve this feat, after Sunil Gavaskar.
Besides the team duel, the 28-year-old is also fighting four England batsmen to become the highest scorer of the year. Jonny Bairstow (1369 in 26 innings), Joe Root (1306/29) and Alastair Cook (1193/30) are ahead of him, with a match still remaining in the series.
But in all formats, Kohli is the leading scorer with 2400* runs at an average of 85.71, ahead of Root (2399), David Warner (2186 ), and Steve Smith (2048).
Virat Kohli also moved pass the 4000-run mark, becoming the 14th Indian to do so.
The right-handed batsman is the sixth-fastest Indian to the mark after Virender Sehwag (79 Tests), Sunil Gavaskar (81), Dravid (84), Sachin Tendulkar (86) and Mohammad Azharuddin (88).
Virat Kohli entered the Mumbai Test as the leading scorer of the series, with one hundred and two fifties.
Virat Kohli has played 11 Tests this year, with a highest score of 211, and an average easily above 70
