'King Kohli' Reveals His Two Most Special Innings

Virat Kohli rated his first maiden double ton at Antigua vs Windies in 2016 and 235 against England in 2016/17 on home soil as his two most special innings

India skipper Virat Kohli has broken plethora of records in all three formats of cricket. The 30-year-old rated his first maiden double ton at Antigua vs Windies in 2016 and 235 against England in 2016/17 on home soil as his two most special innings. "All double hundreds feel good but if you ask me, Antigua and Mumbai against England. One was away from home and another one against England in challenging conditions," Kohli told BCCI's official website after Day 2's play. Kohli broke many records on Friday en route to his career-best 254. "It feels good to get most number of double hundreds (by an Indian in Tests). It's a nice little thing to have," Kohli said. "I struggled to get big scores initially but as soon as I became captain you invariably start thinking about the team all the time, you cannot think of yourself. In that process, you end up batting more than you can imagine so that's been the mindset for a very long time," said the captain. Kohli batted for nearly eight hours. Asked about batting in the heat, he said: "It's difficult but if you think about the team you end up batting 3-4 hours more than you would have. It was humid, that was the only challenging thing. Then (Ravindra) Jadeja came and you had to run hard with him." "Plan was simple to get to 600 and get them to bat tonight. Jaddu batted brilliantly and allowed me to not take too many risks. That partnership set things up nicely for us. We ended up bowling 15 overs and got three wickets as well." India pacers Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami took two and one wicket each respectively to reduce the tourists to 36/3.
