#1 India 687/6 versus Bangladesh, February 9-13, 2017

In the first innings of the only Test of the Bangladesh tour of India at Hyderabad, India posted a mammoth 687 runs on the scoreboard. This total was a world record, as no team had scored in excess of 600 runs in three consecutive Test matches before this.

Skipper Virat Kohli led from the front by smashing an impressive 204 – his fourth successive hundred in as many series. In between his innings, he surpassed Sehwag to score Test runs in a home season.

Apart from KL Rahul, all Indian top 6 batsmen scored more than 80 runs. Vijay and comeback man Saha carried on to smash centuries. Jadeja too joined the party, smashing his sixth Test half-century.
