Virat Kohli’s already impressive CV just got even more impressive, as the India skipper made the most of flat Nagpur pitch and a sub-standard bowling performance, slamming his fifth Test double century in the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka.

After blazing to his fifty off just 66 balls on the second day, the 29-year old started the proceedings in the same manner on the third day and looked in a good touch right from the word go. He reached his 19th Test century off just 130 balls. And as soon as he reached the three-digit mark, he registered his name in the record books once again.

The century is his tenth this year, and it made him the captain with most hundreds in a calendar year. The record was held by Ricky Ponting and Graeme Smith who had scored nine hundred in a calendar year. Ponting had managed the feat on two occasions in consecutive years, in 2005 and 2006 while Smith did it in 2005.

Kohli also went past the legendary Sunil Gavaskar to become the India skipper with most Test centuries. Kohli has now scored 12 Test hundreds as a skipper while Gavaskar had scored 11. And even after scoring the century and breaking a couple of major batting records, he did not slow down and went on to compile a double century off 259 deliveries with the help of 15 fours and a couple of sixes.

In the process, Kohli also equalled Brian Lara’s record of most double centuries as captain. With Kohli making the most of his form and playing yet another memorable knock, social media didn’t miss the chance to congratulate the batsman for his outstanding feat.

Here is how Twitter reacted to the sublime knock from the India skipper:

SL may be a weak team.. but still scoring 200 isn't a cake walk.. against any side. Though his 100 in last match > this 200 or even 300.

On Kohli scoring double centuries at home,@bhogleharsha: “It’s not that someone couriered the runs when you’re playing at home.”

And the man does it again, makes batting look ridiculously easy. 50th double century for India in Test cricket and the man has his 5th in quick time. Salute Virat Kohli
