Virat Kohli who recorded his seventh double hundred soon after tea, put on 225 runs with Ravindra Jadeja to pulverise the South African bowling in Pune.

India's cricket team captain Virat Kohli rises his bat as he leaves the field after declearing their first innings during the second day of the second Test cricket match between India and South Africa at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on October 11, 2019.PUNE - Skipper Virat Kohli struck a career-best 254 not out as India declared their first innings on 601 for five on day two of the second Test against South Africa on Friday.

Jadeja was out attempting a big heave off-spinner Senuran Muthusamy and was caught at long-off for 91 as Kohli walked off with his partner to have a go at the opposition batting in the final session.Playing his 50th Test as captain, Kohli surpassed batting great Don Bradman's tally of 6,996 runs and then swept Muthusamy for two runs to reach 200 in his 81st match amid a standing ovation.

Muthuswamy had Kohli caught at slip on 208 with his left-arm spin but TV replays showed the bowler had overstepped the line and the delivery was a no-ball. King Kohli, as he is fondly called by the Indian media, smashed Muthusamy for a boundary to go past his previous-best Test score of 243 and returned unconquered with 33 fours and two sixes.The skipper started the day on 63, surviving hostile fast bowling from Kagiso Rabada and Vernon Philander.
