Mumbai, December 03: Virender Sehwag blazed his way to his 17th hundred, his second in as many matches, and shared a double century partnership with fellow-opener Murali Vijay as India reached 260 for one at tea on the second day of the third and final Test here today.
The 31-year-old Delhi dasher, who completed 6,000 Test runs in the morning session in his 72nd Test, clobbered the visiting bowlers in his typical fashion to race to his hundred off only 101 balls.
He is the third fastest out of eight Indians to reach the milestone in his 123rd innings.
Vijay, playing his only second Test after making his debut in November, 2008 against Australia at Nagpur, played the perfect foil to his senior and more aggressive partner while also playing some magnificent drives before departing for 87 with 40 minutes left for tea.
