Virat Kohli asserted his ‘King Kohli’ status once again as he sent the South African bowlers to all parts of the Pune ground on Day two of the second Test. The Team India captain achieved multiple feats with his knock of 254 not out. The 30-year-old notched up his seventh double hundred, the first Indian to do, beating the legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, and also went on to achieve his highest Test score and hit the 7000-run mark in his career too. Virat Kohli’s outstanding knock, apart from putting India in a dominant position, with a score of 601/5 in the first innings, earned praises galore on social media. While #KingKohli was trending on social media, even wife Anushka Sharma was lovestruck. Other actors like Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan too were awed.
