day of the fourth cricket Test between India and England here today.
# India's impressive score of 631 is the highest by any team in Tests at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, eclipsing the 604 for 6 wickets declared by West Indies vs India in January 1975.
# India's previous highest total against England at Wankhede Stadium was 591 in February 1933.
# India's 631 is their highest total against England in Tests in India and their second highest vs England next only to the 664 at The Oval in August 2007.
# Virat Kohli and Jayant Yadav were associated in a double century stand for the eighth wicket - India's first 200-plus partnership for this wicket-position in Tests. The said stand is the second highest by an eighth-wicket pair vs England in Tests behind the 243 between Clem Hill and Roger Hartigan for Australia at Adelaide in January 1908.
# With his aforesaid innings, he took his batting average to 50-plus in Tests to become the first batsman to register fifty-plus average in all three formats simultaneously.
# Kohli has posted four innings of 150-plus as Captain in Tests this year to become the third batsman to accomplish the feat - the first two being Michael Clarke (2012) and Brendon McCullum (2014).
# Kohli is the fifth batsman to hit three or more double centuries in a calendar year, joining Michael Clarke (Australia) - four in 2012; Don Bradman (Australia) in 1930; Ricky Ponting (Australia) in 2003, Brendon McCullum (New Zealand) in 2014.
# Kohli has become the 17th Indian batsman to complete 2,000 runs or more in Tests in India.
# Kohli's aggregate of 2580 (ave.88.96) in 36 matches is the highest by any batsman this year in International cricket. His tally includes seven hundreds and 13 fifties.
# Kohli has totalled 640 runs at an average of 128.00 in four Tests in the present series - a new record in a Test series for India vs England, surpassing the 602 (average 100.33) by Rahul Dravid in four Tests in 2002.
# Kohli is the third Indian batsman after Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid to amass 600 runs or more in a Test series twice. Kohli had first amassed 600 runs vs Australia in 2014-15 - 692 (ave.86.50) in four Tests.
