Virat Kohli’s whiplash action once again had an incisive cutting edge to spear the opposition with utmost perfection. Ever since Virat Kohli came in out to bat on Day 1 of Feroz Shah Kotla Test, there was an epochal scale of magnitude in India’s way.

A player of that calibre who is the batting rhythm of his life has sent pangs of conscience to the Lankan tail that is desperately finding ways to sketch a possible route map in order to get rid of choppy waters.
The run-machine Kohli became the first captain to score a hat-trick of centuries in a three-match Test series. There is no secret behind his superpower. He just builds and paces his innings well to make sure India is in the comfort zone.
In addition to that, Virat Kohli also completed 5000 runs in the Test format which came in just 105 innings becoming the fourth fastest batsmen after Sunil Gavaskar (95 innings), Virender Sehwag (98 innings) and Sachin Tendulkar (103 innings).
As always he has an insatiable appetite for runs. The recent Test century against Sri Lanka was his 20th and 52nd overall in his successful international career who is the only cricketer to average 50 plus in all the formats of the game.
This is Virat Kohli’s first ever Test hundred at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi. To add the fact that His century off 110 balls and the half-century off 52 balls were his individual fastest milestones recorded in the Test circuit.
After his century, he gradually went on to pace his innings quite well and brought up his 150 in Tests which is his 7th 150 score as captain and 8th overall.
