Virat Kohli was in exceptional touch, against Sri Lanka, today as he scored the sixth double hundred of his career, equaling Brian Lara's record of five double hundreds as a captain. The Twitterati applauded the Indian skipper's achievement in its own style while having fun at Sri Lanka's expense.
Brief Scores : Sri Lanka 205/10 & 21/1 (D Karunaratne 11, L Thiramane 9; I Sharma 1/4) trail India 610/6 (Virat Kohli 213, Cheteshwar Pujara 143; D Perera 3/202, Rangana Herath 1/81) by 384 runs.

Main reason behind lots of Sri Lanka series
This Sri Lankan team has come just to improve our batsmen's avg so that in the coming overseas tours even if they fail,the career avg doesn't go below a certain point😂 #IndvsSL

Truth from the Lord himself
A wicket on 2nd ball of the inning. Clean bowled. Trust me, I'm more shocked than the batsman. #IndvSL #IndvsSL

Another reason for Sri Lankan tour every other month
BCCI : want to score more hundreds and break some records?
— Vishu (@vish_viji) November 26, 2017
Indian batsmen : YES YES YES
BCCI : Let’s call Srilankan team.#INDvsSL #Kohli #RohitSharma @BCCI @cricketsrilanka @bhogleharsha
BCCI....Please take note of this
India should stop playing Sri Lanka and West Indies at least in India. Supremely boring matches. 😢 #INDvsSL

2 Mins Of Silence For Haters Who Once Said Ashwin, Sir Ravindra Jadeja And Murali Vijay Are In Team Only Because Of #Dhoni's #CSK Favoritism.

They All Have Proved Their Talent Which MS Dhoni Saw Before Anyone Else Could. 🙏🇮🇳#INDvSL #INDvsSL #MuraliVijay #MSDhoni pic.twitter.com/UU679OM5OE
What an achievement by Kohli
Virat Kohli has scored more hundreds than fifties while captaining the side in international cricket!
