Century combo feats:
One of just nine players globally to record both a century and a double-century in the same Test; only Sunil Gavaskar had previously achieved this among Indians.
Hundreds in both innings - elite club:
He joined Gavaskar (Eden Gardens 1978) and Kohli (Adelaide 2014) as captains to score centuries in both innings of a Test.
Notably, he's just the second Indian batter to achieve twin centuries in England Tests, after Pant at Headingley.
Record partnerships:
Shared four century stands in the match - the most by any Indian batter and only the fifth player globally to do so (joining Hanif Mohammad, Gooch, Taylor, Root). He and Jadeja also became the first Indian pair to record a 100 and a 200+ run partnership in the same Test.
