Once the stadium’s giant screen flashed green under ‘WICKETS’ column, the crowd gave a loud cheer for Kohli and followed it with Bharat Mata Ki Kai. Having erred in the shot selection, Kohli made a mistake again not to go for the referral. Every time Kohli scored a double hundred, he has gone on to better his best. The first mistake was by Ajinkya Rahane, who, at 82, he uppishly square drove Islam for Mehedi to take a diving catch. The left-hander scored at a brisk rate that he was eyeing his maiden Test hundred when Kohli declared the innings closed 48 minutes into the day’s final session.
