And what better way to mark it than by scaling Mount 49 and join Sachin Tendulkar as the only other batter to have got there? It nearly happened in Dharamsala and Mumbai but will Kohli be third time lucky here? At a venue where in 2009 he had scored 184 off 121 balls playing for Mohun Bagan in a winning cause in the final of a CAB tournament.
