India captain Virat Kohli bats his way onto The National Sport front page on Monday, December 12 after his double century against England in Mumbai put the hosts on the brink of a Test and series victory.
Kohli, 28, struck 235 runs for his third double ton of the year and Jayant Yadav scored a first Test century to fire India to a huge first innings score of 631.
England, already facing a mountain to climb to win the Test and salvage the series, then endured a nightmare response in their second innings in Mumbai.
The visitors ended Day 4 on 182 for six, trailing by 49 runs, to stare defeat in the face at the Wankhede Stadium.
