England vs India 2018: Top batting performances from the Test series

#2 Pujara's gritty 132* at Southampton, 4th Test

Pujara's breakthrough innings in away tests

Like many other times, after being dropped from the team, Pujara again made a statement with his gritty ton in the fourth test. Have you remembered his sprint to the pavilion after his run-out in Lord's Test and his shocking pull in Trent Bridge Test?

Imagine the kind of pressure he was in. Add India's situation (195-8) to it. All these situations made this innings a memorable one for him. He played brilliantly with the tail to bring up his 15th Test century.

#1 Virat Kohli's incredible 149 and 51 at Edgbaston, 1st Test

Kohli's astonishing 149 set up an enthralling opening test match

Virat Kohli's 149 in the first test is not only his first test hundred in England, it was a knock which announced him as the best batsman of this generation. It was a knock which buried the ghosts of the 2014 tour. It was a knock came in one of the best test match ever played in recent times.

He almost single-handedly won the match for India. But all that doesn't come easily. He showed a lot of courage and patience against the out-swingers from English seamers and especially against his arch-nemesis Anderson. He was missed and beaten many times in this knock than any other innings he's played in Tests. It was an innings of determination, desire, and prowess.
