Mumbai, Dec 11 (IBNS): Creating history, Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Sunday scored a double century against England on the fourth day of the fourth Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Kohli became the first Indian captain to have made such a remarkable achievement.

At lunch on Day 4 of the 4th Test, Team India are at 579/7 with Virat at 212*, Jayant at 92*.

The 28-year-old skipper has scored three double centuries in the same year.

The first two had been scored against West Indies and New Zealand.
