208 not out: Rohit Sharma hit an unprecedented third ODI double hundred when he scored 208 not out  against Sri Lanka in Mohali.

243: Virat Kohli played one of his best Test knocks on his home ground in Delhi scoring career-best 243 against Sri Lanka. The Test will also be remembered for the smog and fog in the national capital that halted the match a number of times as the visitors complained and even fielded wearing masks.

54: Offspinner R Ashwin continued to rule in the Test arena as he broke Dennis Lillee’s record and became the fastest to reach 300 Test wickets. While Lillee set the record in 56 Tests, Ashwin claimed his 300th victim in his 54th Test. (Image Courtesy: PTI)
