Kohli joins legends with another double ton

He is also only the second Indian after Vinod Kambli to score back-to-back double hundreds.

In 1993, the former left- handed batsman had scored 224 against England in Mumbai and 227 against Zimbabwe in Delhi.

Overall, Kohli is in the sixth place in the list of most double hundreds in a career, which is topped by Australian legend Don Bradman (12), followed by Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (11), Lara (9), England's Wally Hammond (7) and Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene

Virat Kohli continued his super hot form by smashing another brilliant double hundred at the Feroze Shah Kotla stadium in New Delhi.

Kohli pulled pacer Suranga Lakmal and ran two to bring up his sixth double century in 238 balls, which included 20 boundaries.

India cricket captain on Sunday became the first international skipper to hit six double centuries in Test cricket.

India's current 'Milestone Man', who had emulated Rahul Dravid with his previous double century in Nagpur equalled Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag for most double hundreds for India in Tests.
