8 instances where India scored 600 runs in an innings under Virat Kohli's captaincy in Tests

#5 600, India vs Sri Lanka, Galle

Shikhar Dhawan

India toured Sri Lanka for a 3 match Test series in 2017. In the first Test, Virat Kohli batted first after the coin tossed in his favour. Left-handed opener Shikhar Dhawan punished the inexperienced Sri Lankan pacers as he scored 190 off just 168 balls with support from Cheteshwar Pujara (153). Even Ajinkya Rahane (57) and Hardik Pandya (50) chipped in with half-centuries. India’s tail performed tremendously well with the bat as the last 3 wickets added 105 to the team total. Mohammed Shami made a quick-fire 30 comprising 3 sixes as India ended their innings at exactly 600.

India won the first match of the series by 304 runs as Shikhar Dhawan was rightly adjudged the Man of the Match.
