Virat Kohli made sure to entertain his home crowd in Delhi to the fullest as he notched up yet another hundred in Graham Glasgow Authentic Jersey the ongoing third Test against Sri Lanka at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday.
Kohli slammed his 20th Test ton with a http://www.football49ersofficialonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JIMMIE_WARD_JERSEY.html single off off-spinner Dilruwan Perera as India reached 264/2 in the 62nd over after opting to bat first.
Kohli is in the middle of a 186-run partnership with opener Murali Vijay, who also notched up his 11th Test hundred just a few minutes before his captain.This is Kohli's third successive hundred and the fourth in six Tests against Sri Lanka this year. Vijay on the other hand, slammed his second consecutive hundred after the 128 he made in the last match in Nagpur.

The 29-year-old is scoring hundreds for fun these days and this was his 11th hundred this year across formats which made him the most prolific captain, in terms of hundreds scored in a calendar year. He also has nine fifties across formats this year. He is also the first captain to score three consecutive hundreds in a three-match Womens Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey Test series.
He has also scored two double tons this year, the first came against Bangladesh in February and the next one he slammed against Sri Lanka in http://www.vancouvercanucksofficialonline.com/Adidas-Christopher-Tanev-Jersey the second Test in Nagpur six days ago.Kohli has the best conversion rate among the 18 captain's who have scored more than 10 Test hundreds.
