Harbhajan Singh shares 'secret blueprint' on how to stop Virat Kohli juggernaut

Virat Kohli on Thursday became the third Indian captain to score a Test century in the West Indies. The Indian skipper was unbeaten on 143 off 197 balls at the end of Day one. The 27-year-old cricketer follows in the footsteps of Kapil Dev (100*) in Port of Spain in 1982-83 and Rahul Dravid (146) in 2006 to score a ton in the Caribbean.


Kohli continued his limited overs form to ease to his 12th Test hundred and lead India to 302 for four on day one of the first Test at Antigua.

Incidentally, Kohli is the only Indian player to score 50-plus as a captain in his maiden Test innings in West Indies. The previous highest by a Indian captain was 49 by Rahul Dravid.

Kohli is also the 8th visiting captain to score a century in his maiden Test innings -- as a skippr that is -- in the West Indies. The last to do so was Australia's Ricky Ponting (158 in 2008).

Kohli also passed 3000 runs in his Test career during this innings.

So it's inevitable that the West Indian team would be thinking and strategizing on how to stop Virat Kohli from scoring against them.

Well, India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has shared the secret to stopping the Kohli juggernaut that keeps on rolling.

Whew! Bhajji almost had us there. Hope the Windies don't 'lose' Kohli's kitbag.
