Top 5 scores in Test cricket in 2017

#4 India 610/6 versus Sri Lanka, November 24-27, 2017

Virat Kohli smashed yet another double century.

India was in a hurry to re-establish normalcy after a rare blip at Eden Gardens. The hosts got back to scoring freely before the important overseas tours next year. It also ensured that Kohli will land in South Africa having not lost any Test series under his captaincy.

The skipper and Rohit were the third and fourth batsman to reach their respective centuries after Vijay and Pujara registered their hundreds. The skipper top scored with 213 – his fifth double century in Tests.

Sri Lanka could only make 371 runs in both attempts and lost by innings and 239 runs. Off-spinner Ashwin took eight wickets in the match and become the fastest to take 300 Test wickets.
