The skipper reached the landmark when he took a single off Taijul Islam in the 27th over of India's first innings. In the process, he broke former Aussie legend Ricky Ponting's record to become the fastest captain to do so.
Kohli took just 86 innings to reach the landmark, while Ponting took 97.

He is the sixth captain after Clive Llyod, Allan Border, Ricky Ponting, Stephen Fleming and Graeme Smith to achieve the milestone.
As expected, India dominated the match. Bangladesh won the toss and batted first. Indian pacers took all 10 wickets with Ishant Sharma claiming his 10th five-wicket haul.
Then, Cheteshwar Puajara and Kohli helped India overtake Bangladesh's total after the early wickets of openers Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma.
