Most Test Centuries as Indian Captain: Virat Kohli..
The Indian once again showed his class by smashing his 19th Test century in the second Test against visitors Sri Lanka. Kohli reached his 4th Test hundred in 2017 and 10th overall international hundred in this calendar year which is the most by any captain, breaking former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting‘s record, who hit 9 hundred in a year.
The runs have been flowing for the Indian Skipper as he scores his 19th Test ton. Second ???? in the series so far. #INDvSL @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/oOUhMAhyCJ
