Kohli quickest to 24th Test ton after Bradman

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has reached his 24th Test century in 123 innings, second only to legendary Sir Donald Bradman, who reached the landmark in 66 innings.

Virat Kohli has surpassed former Australia captain Steve Smith's tally of 23 Test centuries.

India captain Virat Kohli became the quickest batsman to reach 24 Test centuries after the great Donald Bradman early on day two against the West Indies on Friday.

Kohli, who was on 72 overnight, hit a four off Devendra Bishoo to bring up his 100 in the first Test in Rajkot.

The Indian skipper also surpassed Australia's Steve Smith to top the list of centurions among active players. Smith, who is serving a one-year ball tampering ban, has 23 tons in 64 Tests.

It was the second century of the Indian innings after 18-year-old opener Prithvi Shaw made 134 on day one to become India's youngest batsman to score a ton on debut.
