IND vs ENG 2016, 4th Test: Twitter Goes Berserk As Virat Kohli Hits Third Double Ton Of The Year
Feb 10, 2019 at 2:42 PM
Virat Kohli’s year just keeps on getting better with every passing day as he scored his third double century of the year to help India extend their lead over England.
Resuming the day on 147, Kohli started his innings in a dominant fashion and crossed the 150-run mark with a brilliant straight drive. The right-handed batsman kept on batting in the same manner and reached his double ton in no time. The stunning innings was studded with 23 hits to the fence. He has now become the first batsman to hit double centuries in three consecutive series. His partner Jayant Yadav was also going strong on the other end and was playing on 90 when last heard. India were on 568 for 7 with their lead extended to 168 runs.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Kohli’s knock:
Don't say 'Make baby with me Virat' whenever he scored 100 or 200. Tum bacche paida karte karte thak jaogi lekin wo run banate nhi thakega.

Anushka Sharma did a 300 cr movie and Virat Kohli made three double centuries in 2016. What a great year for the family. #IndvsEng

For the second time in his career , Virat Kohli has more than 600 runs in a series.
And potentially 3 innings left after this one.#IndvsEng— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) December 11, 2016
