India skipper Virat Kohli and the elegant opening batsman Murali Vijay have carried on their scintillating batting form from Nagpur to the national capital Delhi in the third and final Test against Sri Lanka. The duo put on an exhibition as they shared a mammoth 283-run stand for the third wicket, with Kohli notching up his 20th Test ton and Vijay amassing his 11th.

After winning the toss in a hazy Feroz Shah Kotla, Indian captain Virat Kohli without any hesitation opted to bat first. The hosts lost their first wicket at 42 in the form of Shikhar Dhawan, who was making his comeback after missing the second Test owing to personal reason. The seasoned campaigner and the centurion of the last match Cheteshwar Pujara didn’t do much either on this occasion as the right-hander perished for just 23 with India reducing to 78-2 in 20.2 overs.

Double centurion of the last match Virat Kohli then gave Murali Vijay the company for the third wicket and that’s where the misery for Sri Lankan bowlers started. Both Kohli and Vijay looked in full flow from the outset and were competing with each other with their dazzling stroke play. While Vijay (155) fell at the fag end of the day, Kohli remained unbeaten on 156 as India piled up 371-4 in the 90 overs of Day 1.
