Active Indian batters who scored 150+ runs in a Test match against England

Virat Kohli – 235 (Wankhede, 2016)

This innings by the then Indian captain, Virat Kohli came just prior to the game in which Karun Nair shone through. Having started cautiously, Kohli was quick to capitalize on any loose deliveries. As the innings progressed, he unleashed his trademark cover drives and flicks, punishing anything short or wide. His knock included 25 fours and 1 six, helping India post a total of 631 in response to England’s 400. As was the case when Nair scored his triple-century, India didn’t need to twice in this game too.
