#3 Highest percentage contribution by a batsman in a Test match for India (all 20 wickets)
Undoubtedly, one of the best performances by an Indian batsman on foreign soil, Kohli almost single-handedly dragged India towards a famous victory. Without adequate support at the other end, this proved to be a bridge too far to conquer for unarguably the greatest batsman of this generation.
Having scored 200 runs out of India's total of 436 in the two innings, Virat Kohli (45.87 %) almost scored half of the team's total runs, such was his determination. To put that into context, the next best was 12.16% by Hardik Pandya who scored a total of 53 runs in the match.
This created an unwanted record where his 200 runs in the match turned out to be the highest percentage of contribution by an Indian batsman.
