Scored a century on Test debut

His 131 still remains the highest by any batsman on his debut at Lord's
One of the three batsmen to have made tons in their first two Test innings
Became only the fifth Indian to start his captaincy stint with a win
Captained India in a record 49 Test matches
Led India to a record 21 Test wins
Is the only Indian to be dismissed twice on 99
His innings of 239 against Pakistan at Bangalore in 2007-08 is the highest ever by an Indian left-hander
Is only the second batsman in Test annals after Australia's Mark Taylor to score a double century in one innings and be a victim of nervous ninety in the second
His series aggregate of 534 runs in the 2007-08 series against Pakistan is the highest ever by any left-handed Indian batsman against any country (Previous best: 438 by Nari Contractor against Australia in 1959-60)
His career-aggregate of 6346 is the highest by a left-handed Indian batsman. No one else has even managed 3000!
