We have all gotten so used to Virat Kohli scoring 100’s. Have a feeling he will cherish this one a lot once we win this Test match.

What a difference one test makes: Indians so far have totally outbowled and outbatted England. Where are Geoff Boycott and co who called Team India just not good enough.. keep at it @imVkohli and co.. #INDvENG

Most times scoring fifty-plus runs in each innings of a Test match among Indian captains:

5 - VIRAT KOHLI*
4 - MS Dhoni
3 - MAK Pataudi #ENGvIND

From abject failure in England in 2014 to run machine in 2018, @imVkohli has charted a breathtaking path in the last four years. This century, in the wake of 97 in first innings, and 200 runs in the first Test, seals his status as master batsman. All rise!
