Kohli also scored his 40th international century as captain of India across all formats of the game to go just one century shy of equaling Rick Ponting’s haul of 41 international hundreds as captain of Australia. This was, however, two of the several records he smashed on Day 2 of second India vs South Africa Test match. India Vs South Africa, Live Cricket Score 2nd Test Match.
