India's Test captain Virat Kohli carried forward his stupendous form into 2017 with a sensational 204 against Bangladesh in the one-off Test at Hyderabad. Among the 24 fours he hit in his 246-ball 204 against the hapless bowling attack, one stood out - a straight drive off Taskin Ahmed.

What was special about the shot was its exquisite timing, his balance and the classy follow through, reminding everyone of the good old days of Sachin Tendulkar when the Master Blaster used to bamboozle oppositions with his trademark stroke.
Kohli broke many records today, primarily becoming the first batsman in Test history to score four doubles centuries in consecutive matches, breaking the record previously set by Don Bradman and Rahul Dravid.
He also overcame Virender Sehwag's feat of 1105 Test runs in a single home season in India's history.
