Stats: India's highest partnership for each wicket in Tests

8th wicket - Virat Kohli and Jayant Yadav - 241

Before 2016, Virat Kohli batting with a tail-ender wasn't a frequent sight, especially with his failure to convert hundreds into doubles. After Murali Vijay's 136, the Indian team looked poised for a big score, but the innings tailed off, with the middle-order imploding and falling apart. In a bid to get close to a big total, Kohli combined with Jayant Yadav to push the hosts past 600.

The 235 remained Kohli's highest score until the next year, and he grew from strength to strength thereafter, while Jayant encountered quite a downfall, and fell down the pecking order of spinners, completely vanishing from the Test team with the start of 2018.
