Virat kohli breaks massive Don bradman’s record. #INDvsSA #ViratKohli

Virat Kohli hits 7th double century, goes past Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.

Kohli took two runs off South African left arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy to reach the 200-runmark off 295 balls.

The Indian captain’s career best 254 not out helped the hosts put up a mammoth score of 601/5 in the first innings. Ravindra Jadeja, who was promoted to number six in the batting order, also played a handy knock of 91 (104 balls), which included quite a few entertaining blows. However, he did miss out on his second Test hundred as Kohli declared immediately after his dismissal.

With this double century, Kohli went past Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar who scored six Test double centuries each.

When Virat Kohli is on song, he is unstoppable. The Indian run-machine has a number of records to his name already and on Friday the Indian captain added another feather to his already illustrious cap when he scored a double century against South Africa, the seventh of his Test career, on day 2 of second test against South Africa at Pune, Maharashtra.

He also became the third Indian to score a double ton against South Africa. The other two Indians who have done that are Mayank Agarwal 215 in Vizag in 2019 and Sehwag 319 in Chennai in 2008.

The 31-year-old Kohli also became the first Indian captain to hit a double century against South Africa. Read more.
