Virat Kohli played yet another fantastic innings in the one-off Test match against Bangladesh. He notched up his 4th double century in 4th consecutive Test series to surpass batting legends Donald Bradman and Rahul Dravid.

Replays showed that the ball hit his pad outside the off-stump, and had he taken the review, he would have survived.
