3. Only 30 runs were scored hitting sixes from the total of 1560 runs
Virat is a player from whom every Indian has high hopes as he hits many sixes and fours. Virat must have followed the footstep of Sachin Tendulkar to score his double hundreds. Among the 7 double hundreds of Virat, he only hit five sixes in total. In the present scenario where every player is influenced by T20 form of cricket and everyone is using that style in the longer format of the game. Virat showed the world that why he devotes himself for Test cricket by following his idol, Sachin Tendulkar. In the 1st four double centuries, he only had scored one 6 in a joint total.
Sachin scored 0, 1, 37, 0 and 44 in the five-Test innings in the 2003-04 tour of Australia. He was afraid of getting out on the off stump while doing a cover drive; evidently he had no idea where his off-stump was. In 2004 he managed to score 241 and didn’t play a single cover drive.
4. 50 wickets in 6 Test crickets by Ashwin excluding this match where Virat made his double hundred
This might sound fictional but Ashwin and Virat have some kind of tuning between them. When Virat scored his double century, Ashwin was giving outstanding performance and won Man of the match award 2 times and took 5 wickets also. Ashwin’s bowling figures were like the following: 7 for 83, 6 for 81, 7 for 59, 6 for 112, 6 for 55, 4 for 73, 4 for 67, 4 for 63 and 3 for 90.
