Skipper Virat Kohli battered a lackadaisical Sri Lanka attack into submission with his fifth double hundred as India piled up a gigantic 610/6 before declaring their first innings on the third day, to literally outbat the island nation in the second Test. At stumps, Sri Lanka were down in the dumps at 21 for one with another 384 runs required to avoid innings defeat. The Indian captain scored a majestic 213 -- his 19th hundred, en route which he broke a plethora of records in company of Rohit Sharma (102 no), who got a Test ton after four long years.
