2nd Test - Australia v India: Day 3
Murali Vijay

Murali Vijay has always been known as one of the most gifted batsmen in Indian cricket, ever since he made his debut back in 2008 and after a rocky period in his career, he eventually became India's permanent opener in Test cricket. In addition to his excellent technique that allows him to play both pace and spin of all kinds with aplomb, Vijay is primarily a stroke maker and his gift of timing is often the reason why he can sometimes run away with the game.

Even the sixes that he hits off the spinners are not muscled but rather timed to perfection and more often than not, those hits clear the ground. Same goes for his boundary hitting abilities against fast bowlers.
