Virat Kohli played a masterful innings at the Wankhede in front of nearly 20000 fans to score his 15th Test century. On a pitch that was turning and bouncing, with India facing a daunting task of going past a big first innings score by England, Kohli stepped up to the task and delivered in style.
In the process he also became the highest run-scorer across formats in 2016, going past the 2500 mark. He also went past 1000 runs in Tests for the year.
Wankhede erupts in joy. Test century No. 15 for the Indian captain & one of his best.
