Virat Kohli is the only man in the history of Test cricket to score 4 double hundreds in 4 consecutive Test series.

In the 2016 tour of the West Indies, Kohli scored exactly 200 runs off 283 balls. Then, in the next series against New Zealand at home, he scored an astounding 217 off 366 balls at the Holkar Cricket Stadium.

He then followed it up with a magnificent 235 against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, and then, in the one off Test Series against Bangladesh, he again scored 204.

On the other hand, Tendulkar could manage only 2 double hundreds in consecutive Test Series. In the 2010-11 series against Sri Lanka, Tendulkar scored a stroke filled 203, and then, in the subsequent Test series against Australia, he scored a splendid 214.

So, there you have it. These are 3 things that Kohli has already achieved in Test cricket, that Tendulkar couldn’t.
