Kohli becomes quickest to 5000 Test runs as captain

Virat Kohli on Friday (November 22) touched yet another milestone with the bat on the opening day of the historic Day-Night Test match against Bangladesh here at Eden Gardens.

The 31-year-old stylish batsman added another feather in his illustrious cap as he completed 5000 Test runs as a captain and became the first Indian skipper to the elite club and only the sixth overall.

Making the achievement even more special, Kohli also became the fastest to this club as he reached the milestone in 86th innings as captain.

Kohli, who needed just 32 runs to complete 5000 Test runs as captain before the start of the match, has joined the group of legendary captains Ricky Ponting, Clive Lloyd, Graeme Smith, Allan Border and Stephen Fleming in the 5000-run club.
