Younis Khan's epic innings of 267 is now the highest individual innings on Indian soil by a visiting batsman.

Younis bettered West Indian Rohan Kanhai's 46 years old record. Incidentally Younis' performance is the second best among all individual performances on Indian soil -- for or against India after VVS Laxman's 281 at Kolkata in 2000-01.
