India vs Afghanistan, Only Test, Day 1: Hits and Misses

#3 Hit: Murali Vijay

Looks like he didn't miss a step

The Tamil Nadu batsman had an indifferent season with the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL this year, where he barely got a chance to play in the starting XI. However, against Afghanistan, Vijay was back in his element and how.

The right-handed batsman opened the Indian innings with Dhawan and dominated the proceedings from the word go. He brought his experience into play and handled the mystery spinners with ease, bringing up the 12th hundred of his Test career on the day.

This was a watchful yet assertive knock from Vijay, who scored 105 of 153 deliveries with 15 boundaries and one six.
