Meanwhile, Kohli also revealed the two double centuries out of the seven he has scored which he keeps in the top closet. Kohli said that his first double century against West Indies in Antigua and the one he scored against England in Mumbai are two of his favourite double centuries.

Virat was on song.

Kohli had to grind hard for the double century against England as the conditions were hot and humid. The Indian captain had scored 235 against England and India went on to win that match by an innings and 36 runs. On the other hand, the one against the West Indies was special because it had come in the overseas conditions. India had won that match convincingly by an innings and 92 runs.

“All are nice. Obviously all double hundreds feel good but I think if you ask me the top two would be Antigua and Mumbai (against England). All double hundreds are special but those two are more special to me because one was away from home. another one against England in challenging conditions. It was very hot and humid there also,” Kohli said while talking to BCCI.TV.
