Virat Kohli's top 5 innings in 2017

#3 213 vs Sri Lanka at Nagpur

After the first Test ended in a draw, the focus shifted to the second Test in Nagpur. Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. Sri Lanka were bundled out for 205, behind Ashwin's 4/67.

India came to bat on the first day of the test itself and went on to post a mammoth total of 610 for the loss of just 6 wickets. Pujara, Vijay and Kohli all went on to score centuries in the match. Kohli went on to convert the century into a double ton scoring 213 off just 267 deliveries at a strike rate of 79.78.

Sri Lanka then came to bat and were all-out for mere 166 and India ended up winning by an innings and 239 runs. This innings is particularly important because it gave India the much-needed win to send them 1-0 up in the 3-match Test series. Kohli was rightly adjudged the man of the match.

Banking on this innings from Kohli, India after getting the lead went on to win the third test and finish the series 2-0.
