#2 Virat Kohli's dream year continues
Kohli continued to dominate bowlers around the globe with his third double century, and possibly the most important of them at the Wankhede. Walking in at 146/2 and staring at a first innings total of 400, Kohli set about building a fine innings.
He got able support from Vijay, who completed a ton himself, and later put up an excellent partnership with Jayant Yadav, as the Indian captain notched up yet another double hundred. Only Michael Clarke has recorded more double hundreds in a year, with four.
Kohli and Yadav plundered the English bowlers in a 241-run stand that took India way past England's total. The confidence Kohli has instilled in youngsters in the side has rubbed on himself too and this knock is proof of his unmistakable self-confidence.
