Star batsman Virat Kohli on Friday eclipsed legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag by amassing a record seventh double hundred, the highest in Indian cricket history. Bradman had eight scores between 150 and 199 but had 12 double hundreds to his credit. On way to his double ton on day two of the second Test against South Africa, Kohli also equalled former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting by scoring the most number of centuries as Test captain. Both Kohli and Ponting now have a record 19 hundreds as a Test captain. This is Kohli’s first hundred of this year, having scored two fifties in the eight innings that he has played in 2019.
