Known for his resilience and perfect hand-eye coordination, Murali Vijay, the opening batsman in the recent past had played an anchor’s role for India. In Bengaluru Vijay would be eyeing to build his innings to give his side an early momentum against the Australian decent bowling line-up.
The 32-year-old Chennai-born has the ability to bat longer period following his solid technique and temperament. Having the terrific record against Australia, in 11 matches, Murali has scored 1,174 at an average of 55.90 which included four hundreds and five fifties.
In the Pune Test, Vijay added just 10 in his first and two in his second innings.
However, Vijay has been the part of winning contingent against England as he is considered the best in business against the new ball bowlers for the solid start.
