Shubman Gill struck 161 runs on day four of the second Test match between India and England in Birmingham on Saturday.
He had notched up 269 runs in the first innings, which took his match aggregate run tally to 430 runs, making him just the fifth batter, and the first Indian, to cross the 400-run mark in one Test.
Graham Gooch, Mark Taylor, Brian Lara and Kumar Sangakkara are the only others to score 400 or more across two innings of a match.
The next best by an Indian is 344 runs, which Sunil Gavaskar scored against West Indies in Port of Spain in 1971.
