India's Top 5 Test Match Openers of All Time 

#5 Murali Vijay: (2008-2018)

Matches: 59, Runs: 3933, Highest Score: 167, Average: 39.33, Centuries: 12

Murali Vijay has been India's number one opener in Test matches for the last 6-7 years. He started off his Test career against Australia on a very promising note. He has played many important knocks for India both in home as well as in away Test matches.

Because of his sound technique and his ability to leave deliveries he has been successful in Australian and English conditions. However he is not counted among the top openers in the world because of his inconsistency.
