In the list of the most double centuries, Rahul Dravid scored five times and Sunil Gavaskar scored four times. It is the proud moment for the skipper as in the last Test match he lost the wickets early. The skipper also completed 7000 runs in Test career.
It was the 26th Test century for Virat and 69th international century. He is near the record of Sachin Tendulkar who has 100 international centuries in his name. Steve Smith, during the Ashes 2019, has gained the position of No.1 Test batting ranking after replacing Virat Kohli. The Indian skipper is in no.2 position but it is sure that in no time Virat will regain his position.
Virat Kohli is leading the No.1 Test team against South Africa in Pune. It is the 50th Test match as the captain for Virat. He is the most successful Indian Test captain. Under his captaincy, India has won 29 Test matches. India is also on the top of the points table of ICC World Test Championship 2019-21 with 160 points.
