5 Records of Virat Kohli that are difficult to break

5. Seven double centuries as captain in Tests

Scoring double centuries in Tests has become certainly difficult in recent times. The pitches have got a bit balanced in the past few years, hence offering much more to bowlers than before. Earlier, all we had were flat tracks which could support batting for more than two days.

Until captaincy came to him, Kohli had no first-class double tons but the responsibility got the better from him. In 2016, Kohli scored his first double ton in Tests against West Indies. He then followed it up with three more in the next few months.

Now in 2020, Kohli has seven double centuries, most by any Indian. However, he also holds the record having scored the most number of double centuries as the captain of any side. The previous was held by Brain Lara of West Indies with five centuries. This record is likely to stay or we might even see Kohli adding a few more double tons before signing off.
