Virender Sehwag's 293, scored against Sri Lanka in 2009, is the highest Test innings achieved at the ground. The record highest Test score by an overseas player is 194 which was made in 1948 by the West Indian Everton Weekes.[3] Vijay Hazare has scored the most Test centuries at the ground with 4.[4]
