However, the Indian produced an outstanding present in his second essay, hitting an unconquered 201 not out off 387 balls. His innings was studded with 23 hits to the fence. He shared a 351-run partnership with skipper Tom Haines (243) for the third wicket to bail out Sussex, who have been 513 for 3 in 176.1 overs when the match resulted in a draw.

The veteran batter was dropped from the Test crew following the collection in South Africa. Ajinkya Rahane, too, was ignored for the house collection in opposition to Sri Lanka.
