This is also Kohli's fifth double century as captain, the highest ever, tied with West Indian Brian Lara. Other Indian captains like MAK Pataudi, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar have one each.

With the help of this latest century, Kohli also became the captain ever to score 10 tons in a calendar year. Kohli broke the record of Ricky Ponting (9 in 2005 and 2006) and Graeme Smith (9 in 2005) to set this latest milestone.

Congratulations Virat Kohli on your 5th Test double hundred. Been a joy to watch this effortless knock. Vijay, Pujara were brilliant and Rohit looking good as well. #IndvSL
