The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli registered his 27th Test century to help India take a huge lead of 241 runs over Bangladesh on Day 2 of the Day-Night match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata Saturday. Once he reached the hundred, Kohli smashed Abu Jayed four successive boundaries in the 71st over.

The 31-year-old started with a streaky four off the first ball, to the backward region and he followed it with a sublime straight drive past Ravindra Jadeja at the non-striker’s end. Showing his class, Virat flicked the third ball past mid-wicket. Then, Kohli found the gap in the square region for the fourth four. He also got the fifth one as well but bowler managed to get his leg at the right time on a straight drive by the modern master.
