Cricketers of the Week: February 5th to February 11th

#3 Virat Kohli

There is no stopping Kohli

Virat Kohli’s juggernaut just doesn’t seem to stop as he scored a delightful 204 against Bangladesh in just 246 balls at a strike-rate of 82.92 in the lone Test at Hyderabad. That made him the first batsman in Test cricket’s long history to score double centuries in four successive Test series overtaking Rahul Dravid and Don Bradman, who had double tons in three consecutive series.

Along with centurions Wriddhiman Saha (who scored an unbeaten 106) and Murali Vijay (who scored 108), Kohli helped push India’s total to a colossal 687 for 6 declared in just 166 overs. This inning also made India the first team to post three consecutive 600-plus totals in Test cricket. Virat has also converted his last five 100s to 150-plus scores, a phenomenal achievement in itself.
