IND vs SA, 2nd Test, Day 2: India Post MAMMOTH 473-4 At Tea, Skipper Kohli Nears 7th DOUBLE Ton

The Indian batting looked in all conquering mode in the post lunch session with skipper Kohli looking promising to get a 7th double ton.

India were in cruise control mode at Tea on Day 2 of the second Test against South Africa, registering a mammoth 473-4 on the board. The Indian batting looked in all conquering mode in the post lunch session with skipper Kohli looking promising to get a 7th double ton. At tea, skipper Kohli was batting at 194, and had Ravindra Jadeja (25) alongside him at the crease. After losing the well settled Ajinkya Rahane immediately after lunch to off-spinner Keshav Maharaj, the Indians continued to pile on the agony on the South African bowling attack with Kohli and Jadeja scoring runs at a brisk pace. Kohli, who became the first Indian captain to score 40 international tons was the dominant partner in the 97-run fifth wicket stand with Jadeja . Kohli broke records a plenty on course of bringing up his  26th Test ton. South Africa skipper Faf Du Plessis tried all the tricks in the book but none of his bowlers looked to leave an impression against the Indians who had their eye in and looked at ease on a good batting deck. Brief Scores India - 473-4 at Tea Virat Kohli (194*), Ravindra Jadeja (25)
