#3 First Indian skipper to score an overseas double century
Kohli became the fifth Indian skipper to score a Test double century joining the likes of MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. But unlike his predecessors, this was the first time an Indian skipper managed to achieve the feat overseas.
Kohli beat the previous record for the highest score by an Indian skipper in overseas Tests (192) achieved by Mohammad Azharuddin against New Zealand at Auckland in 1990. With the mickey of an elusive double hundred off his back now, Kohli will be aiming to break the record held by his predecessor Dhoni who holds the record for the highest score by an Indian skipper which came during his knock of 224 against Australia in Chennai.
