Kohli, Vijay tons take India to 356/3 vs Bangladesh

Skipper Virat Kohli and opener Murali Vijay slammed scintillating centuries to help India post 356/3 at stumps on the opening day of the one-off cricket Test against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Thursday.

Kohli was batting on 111 with middle-order mainstay Ajinkya Rahane (45 not out) giving him company at the other end when the umpires removed the bails for the day.

Earlier, Vijay (108) and Cheteshwar Pujara (83) raised a 178-run second wicket stand to help India recover from the early loss of opener Lokesh Rahul (2).
