Virat Kohli has a unique form of his class because of his open-chested stance and firm bottom-hand grip. Whenever Virat Kohli used these skills, there is always a result known as a double century and a century. This batting class and habit helped him chase bigger targets, especially in ODI cricket when he was a captain, and in test cricket, that gave winning results to the team India. 

Even after scoring a double century in test cricket, he remained steadfast and looked for runs. The bowlers who target Kohli’s wide off stumps, which has been his main weakness, have frequently broken this hunger for runs. This is the only reason he could not achieve the landmark of having his name on the list of triple century makers in Test cricket.

But the way he has progressed so far in his career, one can only predict that he will have his name on that list.
