He became the first batsman to score double hundreds in four consecutive Test cricket series

Virat Kohli's record double hundred and Wriddhiman Saha's second hundred (106 not out) enabled India declare their first innings at a mammoth total of 687-6 against Bangladesh in the final session of the second's day's play of their one-off cricket Test here on Friday.

Kohli, resuming the day at a personal score of 111, became the first batsman to score double hundreds in four consecutive Test cricket series, surpassing the record set by Australian legend Don Bradman (1930-32) and compatriot Rahul Dravid (2003-4).

Saha also shone bright, scoring his second century in Test cricket. He shared two crucial partnerships -- 74 for the sixth wicket with Ravichandran Ashwin (34) and unbeaten 118 with Ravindra Jadeja (60 not out).
