Kohli closes in on double century

November 26, 2017 15:08

India 558-4 (166 ovs) vs SL 205 | Scorecard

Looking at Rohit's intentions it seems India are keen to score some quick runs. He throws his bat at a wide delivery from Perera but only for a single to sweeper cover before Kohli steers it fine for two runs followed by two more singles.

Lakmal comes into the attack in place of Shanaka. He tries the short ball as Rohit eases himself to another pull shot over the leg side for a four.

While Kohli is content to pick singles and make his way to another double hundred, Rohit is ensuring that he gets the boundaries and not let the tempo drop.

A couple of singles before Kohli whips Perera over midwicket for a six to take his score into the 190s and then keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Kohli closes in on another double century as India reach 558 for four, for an overall lead of 354 runs.
