King Kohli overshadows Sachin's record

Indian captain Virat Kohli registered his 27th Test 100 on Day II of the 2nd Test against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He remained unbeaten on 59 at stumps on Day 1. On Day 2, Kohli added 41 runs to his overnight total in the first session to reach the landmark. In doing so, Kohli smashed master blaster Sachin Tendulkar's record to become the fastest player to reach 70 international 100s. While Tendulkar reached the feat in his 505th innings, Kohli reached the landmark in his 438rd innings. The other player to reach 70 international tons was Ricky Ponting who had taken 649 innings to reach the mark. He is also the first Asian batsman to score a 100 in a pink-ball Test. See P7
