“Extremely satisfied” with his maiden Test double hundred, India skipper Virat Kohli said the feat has helped him clear the memories of his disappointing debut tour to the Caribbean in 2011.
Kohli returned to the Caribbean after five years and got down to business, scoring his maiden 200 in the very first innings of the opening Test match against the West Indies.
And once he crossed the milestone, Twitterati just couldn’t get enough of him:
The only way West Indies can stop @imVkohli from scoring runs is by hiding his kitbag😂😂😂..Keep going SHERA.good luck @BCCI

@imVkohli is batting like Superman. Fitness with finesse: he is the Novak of modern cricket.

The season of Virat Kohli reaching new heights in Test Cricket has started…expecting 1500 runs in 17 Tests 👍 pic.twitter.com/EZUL3Nh6ii

Had stopped watching–almost–cricket after Ganguli’s exit; have started watching again due to Virat Kohli. What a champ!

Someone even compared him to actor Rajinikanth.
Virat Kohli brings back the fans to Test Cricket just like How Rajinikant brings back the fans for his movie… ☺
