Virat Kohli has been on a record-breaking spree in the series against Sri Lanka. During his knock of 50 in the second innings at Kolta, Kohli surpassed one of Sunil Gavaskar\u2019s long-standing record as captain.

Kohli also finishes with the series with 610 runs, fourth most for any batsmen in a 3-Test series. Before this Kohli\u2019s highest aggregate in a match was 256 that came against Australia in Adelaide during 2014-15 series. Others in the top 10 list other than Gavaskar and Kohli are Sachin Tendulkar (232) and Dhoni (224).<\/p>\n
