Vijay-Pujara pass 2000 runs together

65.09 Average partnership between M Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara - the best among 13 India pairs with 2000 or more runs. They completed 2000 runs together during their 209-run stand in Rajkot, becoming the only such pair for India since 2010.

81.45 Vijay's average in first Tests of a series since June 2014. He has scored 896 runs in 11 innings in first Tests including one-match series.

1 Number of bigger second-wicket partnerships for India against England than Vijay and Pujara's here. Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir shared 314 runs in Mohali in 2008-09. This is only the third 200-plus partnership for India versus England in the last 20 years and first since Dravid-Gambhir.

2 Number of double-century stands between Pujara and Vijay for the second wicket. Only Dravid and Virender Sehwag have shared more such partnerships for the second wicket for India, with three.
