Flawless hundreds from Virat Kohli and Murali Vijay — third on the trot for the former and second for the latter — laid the foundation for another massive Indian total, as they went to stumps at 371 for four, here at the Ferozshah Kotla on Saturday. While Vijay fell for 155, missing out again on an elusive double ton in the closing stages, Kohli remained unbeaten on 156, his 20th Test ton, and also his quickest, as he reached there in just 110 balls. In the process, Kohli also became the fourth quickest to 5000 Test runs for India. While the duo maintained a run-rate in excess of four during their 283-run stand, they did so playing risk-free cricket, exemplifying the toothlessness of a four-man Sri Lankan attack.
