Last Sunday he scored a double century in Nagpur against Sri Lanka and today (Sunday) he did it again. That’s Virat Kohli for you. Now he has a bag full of proofs for his critics that why he’s known as the captain fearless. On the first day of the Delhi Test, Virat got the 20th Test century of his career and broke many records including of Sachin Tendulkar of 2nd fastest to 20 Test centuries. And today, he became the only captain to have 6 double tons in Test cricket. He equalled the records of Sachin, Virender Sehwag, Ricky Ponting.
Till 2016, he didn’t have any double centuries in his name. In the last 17th months he altered the record books in such way that probably you could find him on every page. As soon as Kohli created the history, people on the social media erupted in joy. People from the cricket fraternity hailed the Indian captain for his unbelievable batting in Delhi. Here’s what they said:
6th double hundred for Virat in less than 500 days. Special players make it count and Virat Kohli is extra special. Amazing intent right from the beginning.#INDvSL

RUN MACHINE @imVkohli: I’ve lost count of the number of centuries he’s scored this year, and double tons in his career. Could we be seeing his first triple today I wonder…

Six double hundreds in all of 17 months. Making batting look ridiculously easy. Can’t be right? If it was, the others would stack up the same numbers. Modern Master. #INDvSL #RunMachine @imVkohli
