Virat Kohli’s fans have been excited after the 27-year-old becomes the first Indian Test skipper to hit double hundred at overseas.

With his stunning double century, the right-handed batsman also enters the elite list of away captains with highest scores in the Caribbean nation – a list includes the likes Sir Leonard Hutton (England), Steve Waugh (Australia), Andrew Strauss (Australia) and Ricky Ponting (Australia).

Kohli’s 200-knock against West Indies brings lots of heaps of praises on Twitter…

Congrats, @imVkohli! 1st Indian captain to score overseas 200! ‘Patience’ key in WI; Kohli’s S/R of 71 says otherwise! #whatatalent #WIvIND
