Virat Kohli News: Virat Kohli, a native of Delhi who played all his domestic cricket from the city, has often produced significant innings whenever he has stepped onto the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch. Although he now spends less time in India and plays for an IPL team from Bengaluru, the Delhi ground has always proven fortunate for him. In 2017, he smashed a magnificent double century against Sri Lanka at this very venue, a record that stands unbroken to this day.
Virat Kohli's Highest Test Score
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has witnessed seven double centuries in Test cricket so far. However, none have surpassed the monumental innings played by Virat Kohli. In 2017, Kohli successfully scored 243 runs against Sri Lanka, which remains the highest individual score at this stadium. New Zealand's Bert Sutcliffe holds the second spot, having scored an unbeaten 230 runs in 1955.
Other Double Centurions at This Venue
Apart from Virat Kohli, Indian legends like Vinod Kambli, Gautam Gambhir, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman have also notched up double centuries at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In the history of cricket, only one foreign batsman has managed a double century in Delhi, and that's Bert Sutcliffe. All other double centurions at this ground have been Indian players.
India vs West Indies Second Test Ahead
Once again, Team India is set to play Test cricket at this historic venue. The second match of the Test series between India and West Indies will be played here from October 10th. The Indian team has already taken a lead in the series by winning the first match and is now eyeing a clean sweep against West Indies. The Indian team is displaying tremendous form, and it's expected that they will defeat the relatively weaker West Indies team within the first three days, while it remains to be seen whether the visiting team can bounce back or if the match will be a one-sided affair.
